The fact that there is no consensus on how to deal with an identified operational problem justifies IETF to
tackle the subject.
Suggestion: v6ops asks for a work item to be created on fragmentation issues, e.g. in Intarea.
Subject could include considerations on:
- IPv6 AND IPv4
- ICMP PTB and firewalls
- RA advertised MTUs
- Transmit MTUs and DF settings in hosts
. in TCP AND UDP
. for on-link AND off-link destinations
- MSS rewrites
Any alternative way to make progress would be welcome, provided documenting an IETF view on these issues
isn't further deferred.
Regards,
RD
