Hi all,
I was trying the ping6 option from FreeBSD. The interface MTU size is 1500. FreeBSD acts as a router. The route advertisement doesn't have an MTU field.
While transmitting an ICMPv6 request from a FreeBSD machine with a size of 1454 bytes, I can see in Wireshark that the packet is generated with a fragmented packet. The first fragment (IPv6 packet) - payload is 1240 and the second fragment is an ICMPv6 request with a payload of size 238.
Could you please tell me what might be the isue?
Even if the MTU size is 1500, the packets are generated with a fragmented one.
Please guide me on how to get rid if this?
Regards
