Re: IPv6 MTU for tunnel pseudo interfaces

2002-08-10 Thread Margaret Wasserman
Hi Erik, There are many implementations that don't have the ability to reassemble a 65,353 byte packet, at least not without allocating a 64K buffer for this purpose. So, this seems to be a harsh restriction to place on RFC 2893 implementations. If we need to choose one or the other, I'd

Do such implementations which have problems with 64KB packets need to be able to use tunneling? yes. think of small devices like DSL routers at home. they terminate tunnels, and have severe memory limitations. itojun

Do such implementations which have problems with 64KB packets need to be able to use tunneling? I'm not sure -- do you think that home gateways, cable modems, DSL modems, etc. will need to use tunneling? Doesn't seem harsh to me (e.g. small devices like LCNA's should not have to do this),

But if they're designed so that they have problems with allocating 64 KB of memory, there's something about the design that's wrong IMO. It's not really a design issue, it is a cost issue... The implementations used in these boxes are quite configurable -- the person who integrates the
