Subject: Flag this message TCP fragmentation on IPv6
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 14:20:06 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]

Hello TCP experts,
I am sorry to bother you. But I am just wondering if
you can shed some light on how TCP-v6 (Linux - Fedora)
handle the case where it send a segment of 1500 bytes
and then some router along the way sends back the
ICMPv6 "too big - 1300" message. There are two choices:
1) TCPv6 resends the original segment (1500) into
two new TCP segments (one with 1300) and the other
is 200.
OR
2) TCPv6 sends out two IPv6 fragment packets to
achieve the original 1500
OR maybe, there are other ways as well. Thanks for your
times and helps. If there is a another forum that I can ask these
kinds of questions, please let me know. Thanks a lot.
Regards
Duc Le
