|

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.
