RFC 1191 says to increase the PMTU at some itnerval (15 minutes default) next time a packet is sent, this will be used... and if PMTU is really increased, no ICMP error will be recieved. that shows an increase in the PMTU. I'm trying to understand if this mechanism is there in freebsd. any on this is appreicated thanks, Aditya
