Hi Pekka and others,



Please send comments to me by the end of this week, either on- of
off-list, as you deem appropriate.
With the risk of stating the obvious I would say that normally, PMTUD

On todays internet everything is more reliable than PMTUD.

How about replacing it completely with something more inband, less prone to firewall breakage?
You mean something like Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery (PLPMTUD)?
