Hi,
AFAIK for mtu-discovery ICMP Type 3 Code 4 is needed (Fragmentation needed
but DF set). If you allow "destination unreachable"  inbound which is Type 3
it should work.

Betreff: [FW1] icmp service to allow mtu discovery



We might be having an MTU discovery problem, and I remember reading about 
this in the paper at: www.feelabs.com/~whitis/isp_mistakes.html

Is there a predefined FW-1 icmp service which allows ICMP "too big" messages

so that I can make sure I'm not breaking PMTU discover???

Background info: We have been allowing a customers to ping a server on our 
site by allowing src=Any, dest=their server, service=icmp "echo-request" and

allowing src=Any, dest=Any, service=icmp "echo-reply", "dest-unreach", 
"time-exceeded".

Thanks in advance for your help!
