In the presence of firewalls which improperly block ICMP Unreachable
(including Fragmentation Required) messages, Path MTU Discovery is
prevented from working.
A workaround is to handle IPv4 payloads opaquely, ignoring the DF bit--as
is done for other payloads like AppleTalk--and doing transparent
fragmentation and reassembly.
Redux includes the enforcement of mutual exclusion between this feature
and Path MTU Discovery as suggested by Alexander Duyck.
