From 8ed1dc44d3e9e8387a104b1ae8f92e9a3fbf1b1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2014 10:01:17 +0100 Subject: ipv4: introduce hardened ip_no_pmtu_disc mode This new ip_no_pmtu_disc mode only allowes fragmentation-needed errors to be honored by protocols which do more stringent validation on the ICMP's packet payload. This knob is useful for people who e.g. want to run an unmodified DNS server in a namespace where they need to use pmtu for TCP connections (as they are used for zone transfers or fallback for requests) but don't want to use possibly spoofed UDP pmtu information. Currently the whitelisted protocols are TCP, SCTP and DCCP as they check if the returned packet is in the window or if the association is valid.
