checkPMTUincrease - Verify that node detects increase Path MTU
Host
checkPMTUincrease.seq [-tooloption ...] -p checkPMTUincrease.def
This test is OFF-LINK Network Configuration test. In this test, TN play a Roll of the Router. Physical Network configuration --------------------------------------- | | NUT TN
Logical Network Configuration
HOST A (globaladdress:A) | ---------------------------------- | Router | ---------------------------------- | NUT (globaladdress:B)
NUT < --- Router --- > HOST A
In this configuration, Packets are send and received.
for example, In Logical HOST A -- Echo Reply --> NUT Actually, in physical TN (as Router X) -- Echo Reply --> NUT
There are 2 patterns for initialize.
-- Test for host --
The TN send a RA to assign global address prefix.

-- Test for router --
TN attempt to execute remote command 'vRemote(route.rmt)'. 'route add -inet6 3ffe:501:ffff:109 TN'slink-local-address'
"checkPMTUincrease" verifies that the node attempts to detect increase of Path MTU.
- NUT must not attempt to detect an increase less than 5 minutes after a Too Big Mesg.

1. TN send Echo Request. === echo request ===>
2. NUT send Echo Reply.

3. TN send ICMPv6 Too Big Mesg include MTU (1300). === ICMPv6 Too Big Mesg ===>
4. TN sleep 900 seconds in perl script.
why 900 second ? The recommended setting for this timer is 10 minutes.
5.1 TN send Echo Request which is fragmented. orignal packet's size is 1500 (ether's Link MTU.
=== echo request 1st ===>
=== echo request 2nd ===>
5.2 NUT send Echo Reply << JUDGMENT >> <=== echo reply ===
<< PASS >> NUT send Echo Reply which is no fragmented. node detects the increase of Path MTU.
