Title : IPv6 Path MTU Interactions With Link Adaptation
Author(s) : Fred L. Templin
Filename : draft-templin-6man-linkadapt-00.txt
Pages : 6

Abstract:
IPv6 intentionally deprecates fragmentation by routers in the
network. Instead, links with restricting Maximum Transmission Units
(MTUs) must either drop each too-large packet and return an ICMPv6
Packet Too Big (PTB) message or perform link-specific fragmentation
and reassembly (also known as "link adaptation") at a layer below
IPv6. This latter category of links is often performance-challenged
to accommodate steady-state link adaptation. This document therefore
proposes an update to the base IPv6 specification to better
accommodate links that require link-specific adaptation to meet the
IPv6 minimum MTU of 1280 bytes.
