A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : IPv6 Path MTU Interactions With Link Adaptation Author(s) : Fred L. Templin Filename : draft-templin-6man-linkadapt-00.txt Pages : 6 Date : 2013-09-09 Abstract: IPv6 intentionally deprecates fragmentation by routers in the network. Instead, links with restricting Maximum Transmission Units (MTUs) must either drop each too-large packet and return an ICMPv6 Packet Too Big (PTB) message or perform link-specific fragmentation and reassembly (also known as "link adaptation") at a layer below IPv6. This latter category of links is often performance-challenged to accommodate steady-state link adaptation. This document therefore proposes an update to the base IPv6 specification to better accommodate links that require link-specific adaptation to meet the IPv6 minimum MTU of 1280 bytes.
