|    icmp echo to a host with smaller mtu on     |
|    12 Jun 13 03:19:23    |
      Guys,               I have two linux machines (A and B) connected to same link (ethernet). The       MTU supported is 1500.              If I change the mtu to 1280 of one the host (say B), then can I send an ICMP       echo packet from node A (of max size as per its mtu which is 1500) to node B ?              Will host B be able to receive a packet whose size is greater than its MTU ?              Is there a way host A can discover the decreased MTU of B and then can send an       ICMP packet of lower size ?                     thanks,       rahul              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
