Interestingly, Windows XP, Sp3, released today, describes changes in PMTUD behavior.
Black Hole Router detection is now on by default:
As I pointed out in my post earlier today timestamped at 2:29PM, I was using an XP SP3 host to perform my tests with, and it made no difference. I also used BBR's DrTCP application to make sure that black hole router detection was, in fact, enabled on my XP box before commencing my packet captures. I cannot explain why it made no difference, but at the same time I don't know enough about how WinNT's black hole router detection works to begin speculating at this point. I do plan on looking into it, however. -- Nathan Anderson First Step Internet, LLC nathana@fsr.com
