Path MTU discovery ICMP messages
This is more for my own reference… After configuring my ADSL modem to run i bridge mode, it seems I’m running into a few path MTU issues. To identify any path MTU messages, I’ve been analyzing the traffic on the outside interface looking for path MTU issues using the following tcpdump syntax:
tcpdump -n -s0 -i ppp0 'icmp[icmptype] != icmp-echo and icmp[icmptype] != icmp-echoreply'
Update: Of course, this exact syntax is documented on tcpdump’s own site…
