Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a data packet sending method and apparatus in an Internet Protocol IP version v6 network, so as to resolve a problem that a data packet may be always discarded before a PMTU of a path is probed in a current IPv6 network. The method includes: before a PMTU of a path is probed, sending a data packet according to a minimum MTU stipulated in the IPv6 protocol; and after the PMTU of the path is probed, sending a subsequent data packet on the path according to the probed PMTU of the path. The method ensures that the data packet can pass through a network device having any MTU on the path, so as to ensure that the data packet can be received by a destination receive end.

Claim (Index 19):
A readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out the steps of:\n before a path maximum transmission unit (PMTU) of a path is probed, sending a data packet on the path according to a minimum maximum transmission unit (MTU) stipulated in the IPv6 protocol; and after the PMTU of the path is probed, sending a subsequent data packet on the path according to the probed PMTU of the path; before the sending a data packet on the path according to a minimum MTU stipulated in the IPv6 protocol, further comprising: determining that a path maximum transmission unit, PMTU, that is of a path and that is used by a to-be-sent data packet is unknown; and sending the to-be-sent data packet according to the minimum maximum transmission unit (MTU) stipulated in the IPv6 protocol, and performing PMTU probing on the path; and wherein the performing PMTU probing on the path comprises: constructing a probe packet by using a source IP address and a destination IP address of the to-be-sent data packet, and sending the probe packet on the path.
