Folks, I've been following this discussion and trying to understand where people want to solve it. I'm writing my personal conclusion here and please let me know if you disagree.
First there is the question of: is this worth solving? and if it is, can it be entirely solved here or do we need to involved IEEE? There seems to be different opinions here. Without getting into the technical issues, which are discussed in detail, and assuming that people think it's worth solving, we have two choices in terms of moving forward: 1. Add the MTU negotiation between two nodes in 2461 bis 2. Another spec can define those options The impression I'm getting is that people are in favour of (2) above. I'm personally in favour of (2) as well. This work seems significant enough to have its own spec. Also, it seems like it will take some time to work out the details of this optimisation and get concensus on the details. So can we move forward based on this conclusion and not put this in 2461bis ?
