True, but the description for the CM REJ code 26 for Invalid Path MTU
states something a little different (p. 667):

"The recepient of the REQ message cannot support the maximum packet
payload size requested."

is being interpreted as "prefers not to support the max payload size
requested" which is probably OK.

Isn't it the other way 'round (when something with a larger MTU connects
to Tavor) ?
