Abstract:
Methods are directed towards initializing a path maximum transmission unit value for two gateways in communication via a network tunnel (e.g., VPN environment). The initialized path maximum transmission unit value is used in establishing the network tunnel of the two gateways. Methods are also directed towards synchronizing path maximum transmission unit values for the two gateways after the network tunnel has been established. These methods minimize the occurrence of dropped data packets arising from mismatched path maximum transmission unit value between the gateways.

Claim (Index 17):
A apparatus for synchronizing path maximum transmission unit values, the apparatus comprising:\n a memory; and a processor that executes instructions stored in memory to:\n detect a mismatch in maximum transmission unit values at a first gateway\u2014and at a second gateway, wherein a network tunnel is used to transmit data between the first gateway and the second gateway, \n advertise a current maximum transmission unit value of the first gateway to the second gateway in response to the detected mismatch, wherein the second gateway advertises a current maximum transmission unit value of the second gateway to the first gateway, \n acknowledge receipt of the current maximum transmission unit value of the second gateway, and \n establish a maximum transmission unit value for synchronization between first gateway and the second gateway based on the current maximum transmission unit value at the first gateway and the current maximum transmission unit value advertised by the second gateway, wherein a subsequent data packet is transmitted using the established maximum transmission unit value as synchronized between the first gateway and the second gateway.
