Hi Jeff, thank you for bringing up for discussion this interesting proposal. A question and a comment ahead of the meeting to save us time:
- which applications will benefit from monitoring path MTU (PMTU) rather from using PMTU discovery and updating the value; - note that "The Don't Fragment bit (Section 2.3 of [RFC0791]) of the IP payload, when using IP encapsulations, MUST be set." is only applicable to IPv4 environment as IPv6 does not allow IP fragmentation.
