From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Oussama Ghorbel Subject: [PATCH] IPv6: Allow the MTU of ipip6 tunnel to be set below 1280 Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2013 15:51:48 +0100 Message-ID: <1380207108-20030-1-git-send-email-oghorbell@gmail.com> Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Oussama Ghorbel To: "David S. Miller" , Alexey Kuznetsov , James Morris , Hideaki YOSHIFUJI , Patrick McHardy Return-path: Received: from mail-wi0-f194.google.com ([209.85.212.194]:64101 "EHLO mail-wi0-f194.google.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1750930Ab3IZOwc (ORCPT ); Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:52:32 -0400 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: The (inner) MTU of a ipip6 (IPv4-in-IPv6) tunnel cannot be set below 1280, which is the minimum MTU in IPv6. However, there should be no IPv6 on the tunnel interface at all, so the IPv6 rules should not apply. More info at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15530 This patch allows to check the minimum MTU for ipv6 tunnel according to these rules: -In case the tunnel is configured with ipip6 mode the minimum MTU is 68. -In case the tunnel is configured with ip6ip6 or any mode the minimum MTU is 1280.
