  • RHEL6 で fragmenation needed の ICMP パケットが破棄されているのはなぜですか?
参照:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_MTU_Discovery

For IPv4 packets, Path MTU Discovery works by setting the Don't Fragment (DF) option bit in the IP headers of outgoing packets.Then, any device along the path whose MTU is smaller than the packet will drop it, and send back an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Fragmentation Needed (Type 3, Code 4) message containing its MTU, allowing the source host to reduce its Path MTU appropriately.The process is repeated until the MTU is small enough to traverse the entire path without fragmentation.
