[LARTC] Per-destination MTUs?

[LARTC] Per-destination MTUs?

[Michael T. Babcock]

I have some Path-MTU discovery problems it seems; a few sites I deal 
with can only communicate with us if we use an MTU of 1492 (they're on 
ADSL of course ...) and another (in Japan) only works for file transfers 
if we use an MTU of around 1425.

Is there any way to tell Linux what the MTU should be on a 
per-destination basis?

(Ignoring the fact that I should've looked there in the first place ...) 
thanks, it works exactly as desired (even on kernel 2.2.19, fwiw).
