hello All,

I am running Freebsd 4.7 stable release.

in6_mtuexpire is called approximately every MTUTIMO_DEFAULT ie every 1
minute. Shouldn't this value be such that the increases in MTU can be
detected less frequently,in accordance with RFC 1981, Path MTU Discovery for
IPv6. Also the flag RTF_PROBEMTU is not being used at the moment.Please let
me know if I am missing something.
One way would be to handle the issue could be as follows.When sending the
packet out in ip6_output we could check for RTF_PROBEMTU and bring the mtu
value in the route entry back to the link mtu value.

Thx.
