Yes it is. Some people have a 1492 MTU due to PPP encapsulation; some have 9000+ such a gigabit links. And in IPv6 case, 1480 (and 1472) are fairly common because of IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels. > and how often packets are dropped due to MTU too small, It very much depends on the network topology. But it definitely happens in various cases. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
