What platform adds static routes in response to PMTU discovery? I've never seen that before. What purpose does it serve to add statics? Some kind of caching of MTU per destination?
Exactly. AIX 4.3 uses a host route to cache the discovered PMTU. I got surprised in 4.3.3 when PMTU discovery became the default... What systems DONT use a host route to cache the PMTU, and what do they use instead to store the values? -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
