Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/2] selftests: net: add test for variable PMTU in broadcast routes
Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2025 16:27:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250710142714.12986-2-oscmaes92@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250710142714.12986-1-oscmaes92@gmail.com>
Added a test for variable PMTU in broadcast routes.
This test uses iputils' ping and attempts to send a ping between
two peers, which should result in a regular echo reply.
This test will fail when the receiving peer does not receive the echo
request due to a lack of packet fragmentation.
Signed-off-by: Oscar Maes <oscmaes92@gmail.com>
