Hi all,
I’d like to use this extension but I have my doubts on just how often it’s useful.
It would be nice if there were a way to determine this concretely: perhaps it could be reimplemented as a matching filter, and only match on packets that had been changed.
I suspect that most hosts do the right thing, and that most networks correctly pass ICMP Unreachable - Fragmentation Needed, etc. but being able to log packets where this isn’t the case and clamping turns out to be necessary would be a lot more useful.
Anyone have any insight into this?
Thanks,
-Philip
