In the presence of firewalls which improperly block ICMP Unreachable (including Fragmentation Required) messages, Path MTU Discovery is prevented from working. A workaround is to handle IPv4 payloads opaquely, ignoring the DF bit--as is done for other payloads like AppleTalk--and doing transparent fragmentation and reassembly. Redux includes the enforcement of mutual exclusion between this feature and Path MTU Discovery as suggested by Alexander Duyck.
