Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for facilitating communications between two peer nodes in a network. The method comprises (a) configuring a first of the peer nodes to transmit a Path Maximum Transmission Unit (PMTU) request to a second of the peer nodes; wherein the PMTU request comprises a PMTU test value; (b) configuring the second peer node to transmit a PMTU reply responsive to receiving the PMTU request; said PMTU reply comprising a PMTU value set to match the PMTU test value in PMTU request; and (c) configuring the first peer node to determine a PMTU for the network based on determinations of fragmentation in connection with the PMTU reply.

Claim (Index 8):
A router comprising:\n at least one interface for facilitating network communications with other devices in a network; and a Path Maximum Transmission Unit (PMTU) discovery logic to dynamically determine a PMTU for the network, wherein the at least one interface is configured to send packets to other devices in the network of a length equal the PMTU determined for the network, and wherein dynamically determining the PMTU for the network comprises:\n (a) transmitting a PMTU test request to a peer node of the router, wherein the PMTU test request comprises a PMTU test value; \n (b) receiving a PMTU test reply responsive to the PMTU test request from the peer node, the PMTU test request comprising PMTU value set to equal the PMTU test value in the PMTU test request; and \n (c) making determinations of fragmentation in connection with the PMTU test reply, wherein in case, for an iteration n, if there has been fragmentation then lowering the PMTU test value for the next iteration n+1, to equal half of the PMTU test value for the iteration n.
