Switch it off? Hand it over to ITU control? :-) The Internet was designed from the outset to work around breakage. Packet fragmentation issues will always be with us unfortunately. The networks which have these problems will fix them: Darwinism will take care of that eventually. Until then everyone else just has to work around them or ignore their brokenness. 'coz that's how it works. We (for some definition of we) might come up with some tools to help identify the problem or do some outreach and education to help mend these broken networks. However I am sceptical those sort of things will be successful. After all we still have nets, servers and middleboxes that can't/won't handle EDNS correctly or assume that DNS packets only ever go over UDP and are always < 512 bytes. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
