> why that? I thought the point was to _allow_ IP fragmentation in large TRXD PDUs? You're doing the exact opposite here?

I don't remember all the details of our previous conversation regarding the IP fragmentation, sorry. My understanding at the time of writing this patch was that we don't want the fragmentation because of the associated performance loss. It seems I understood you wrong.

I did some tests with the current master (no explicit IP_MTU_DISCOVER setting), and as far as I can see, the IP fragmentation is employed by default if a TRXD PDU exceeds the MTU. So AFAIU, we want to make sure that it can be employed regardless of the system's default policy by setting IP_MTU_DISCOVER explicitly, right? If so, shall I use IP_PMTUDISC_DONT or IP_PMTUDISC_WANT?
