target = "https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8899#section-6.2.2.4" # 6.2.2.4. Handling of PTB Messages by SCTP/UDP # # ICMP validation MUST be performed for PTB messages as specified in # Appendix C of [RFC4960]. This requires that the first 8 bytes of the # SCTP common header are contained in the PTB message, which can be the # case for ICMPv4 (but note the UDP header also consumes a part of the # quoted packet header) and is normally the case for ICMPv6. When the # validation is completed, the PL_PTB_SIZE calculated from the PTB_SIZE # in the PTB message SHOULD be used with the DPLPMTUD providing that # the reported PL_PTB_SIZE is less than the current probe size.
