HP PROCURVE 2910AL Configuration Guide

Introduction to IPv6
Path MTU (PMTU) Discovery
Path MTU (PMTU) Discovery
IPv6 PMTU operation is managed automatically by the IPv6 nodes between
the source and destination of a transmission. For Ethernet frames, the default
MTU is 1500 bytes. If a router on the path cannot forward the default MTU
size, it sends an ICMPv6 message (PKT_TOO_BIG) with the recommended
MTU to the sender of the frame. If the sender of the frame is an IPv6 node that
supports PMTU discovery, it will then use the MTU specified by the router and
cache it for future reference.
