and gets an error informing it of a new PMTU, it will attempt to
verify that PMTU by sending packets of exactly that size to the remote
peer. If it gets no indication from the remote weave that these
packets have been received within a timeout period, it will
artificially drop the PMTU by 8 and try again. Thus this will slowly
reduce the PMTU until a working PMTU is found. This is slow, but it
does work and works around ICMP packets being dropped.
packets have been received within a timeout period, it will conduct a
binary search - sending packets of different sizes - to determine the
PMTU.
