Title : TCP Fails To Respect IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU
Author : M. Andrews
Filename : draft-andrews-tcp-and-ipv6-use-minmtu-01.txt
Pages : 4

Abstract:
The IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU [RFC3542], Section 11.1, socket option directs
the IP layer to limit the IPv6 packet size to the minimum required
supported MTU from the base IPv6 specification [RFC2460], i.e. 1280
bytes. Many implementations of TCP running over IPv6 neglect to
check the IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU value when performing MSS negotiation and
when constructing a TCP segment. This leads to oversized IPv6
packets being sent resulting in unintended Path Maximum Transport
Unit Discovery (PMTUD) [RFC1191] being performed and to fragmented
IPv6 packets being sent.
