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 1):
A computer-implemented method for facilitating communications between two peer nodes in a network, the method comprising:\n (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, the PMTU reply comprising a PMTU value set to match the PMTU test value in the 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, wherein in case, for an iteration n, then lowering the PMTU test value for the next iteration n+1, to half of the PMTU test value for the iteration n in cases where there has been fragmentation.
