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 3):
The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the method comprises: when the to-be-sent data packet is the data packet first sent on the path by the current host, or when the PMTU entry that is of the path and that is on the current host is deleted, determining that the PMTU of the path is unknown; and\n the performing PMTU probing on the path comprises: sending a first probe packet according to an MTU having a smaller length in a second MTU and a third MTU, wherein the second MTU is an MTU configured on a specific interface of the current host, the third MTU is an MTU indicated in a router advertisement (RA) packet that is received by the current host from the specific interface, and the specific interface is an egress interface used to send the to-be-sent data packet by the current host.
