Subject: [Bridge] Bridge that do MSS CLAMP

In order to transparently help packet go inside a vpn/tunnel without
having to solve the security problem of permiting ICMP packet getting
accross a firewal...
I would like to use "clamp-mss-to-pmtu" inside a bridge (firewall bridge).
It would bridge every traffic, but alter the Maximum Segment of TCP
connection.
Before attempting this, could anybody give us a hint on the possibility
for this to work... Was this attempted before (or should I ask for a
"software patent" on this) :-)
It sound a little bit like what a "Packet Shaper"TM does by altering
windows size computation.
