We are currently moving from z/VM 5.3 to z/VM 5.4. We are wondering what
to do with TCPIP and
the new PATHMTU and PATHMTUAGE . Currently we have left it out so it is
disabled and apparently
defaults to Path MTU Discovery Aging Interval of 10 minutes (per NETSTAT
GATE). In looking at the
TCPIP Planning and Admin guide - it happily says what the statements mean,
but I am not able to find
anything that says what a good value might be, We don't have a lot of IP
traffic - is it OK to let it default
to 10 minutes? Is there a way to determine what a 'good' value would
be....? Is it that important...?
Obviously someone thought it important enough to add it to this
release... :-) (And we are IPv4).
Thanks.
