Hello,

I would be very grateful if someone could enlighten me on the function of
the parameter 'pmtu_enabled' in the inet subsystem. All I have found in
the documentation so far was

        Enables (1) or disable (0) path MTU discovery.

        Default value: 1 (enabled)

But what is path MTU discovery ?

Thank you in advance for any information.
