Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for discovering a path maximum transmission unit. The method comprises receiving a data packet from a first remote device for transmission to a second remote device and determining if a size of the received data packet is greater than a maximum transmission unit (MTU) value. In response to determining that the size of the received data packet is greater than the MTU value, the method further comprises transmitting a portion of the received data packet to the second remote device and transmitting a message to the first remote device indicating that the size of the received data packet exceeds the MTU value.
