Wha is your point in mentionning this requirement ? Do you mean that the server should not send packets bigger than 1280 bytes if it fails to handle properly path MTU discovery ?

Lowering the MTU at the client side does not fix the problem that exists at the server side. It is just a workaround that works for TCP because it happens that TCP uses the *outgoing* MTU to calculate the advertised *incoming* MSS (how weird when you consider that internet routing is likely to be asymmetric). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
