Abstract
IP-in-IP tunnels present a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) to layer 3 via static prearrangements and/or dynamic MTU determination based on layer 2 ICMP messages, but these methods have known operational limitations that can fail to enforce an assured MTU resulting in degraded performance and communications failures. A method for providing an assured MTU to layer 3 over IP-in-IP tunnels is needed.
