How TCP/IP stack reacts on receiving ICMP type 3 code 4 Fragmentation needed
but DF set ?
I mean how many bytes will be sent next time after receiving ICMP
unreachable.
I lowered IP mtu to 1420 and router sent ICMP and host started send 1420 !!
I sniffed ICMP packed and I didn't see anything inside ICMP indicating
allowable MTU.
How source knows what size frame to retransmit ?
 
Thanks,
Dmitry
