Just to mention but when you have pmtu occuring in a vpn context, you
have a problem if the lower mtu is in the tunneled packet path:
the icmp will be sent to the originator of the
encapsulated packet which is the vpn box which itself cant send it back
to the client and so pmtu is borken. In
Stripping the DF Bit should be enough to solve this problem... as the
routers will then fragment the packets as required.
Or have I missed something?

Help!
I can't find it How do I turn off the 'Don't Fragment' bit? without
using IP Tables/ Chains? Is there a proc setting? or do I need to
re-compile ther Kernel? and if so, where is the jumper?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi!
I had a similar Problem with a tunnel - I solved it by setting the MTU
of the interface lower. The PMTU discovery didn't work in my case.

The reason why Path MTU doesn't work, is that our F5s (BigIPs) seem to
have a broken implementation of NATing ICMP PMTU packets (at least when
using Aggregate ALL - OncConnect or SNAT)

My bet would be that someone is blocking icmp messages (you, your
