This standard also mandates the use of IP Path MTU discovery [Mogul] by all nodes implementing IP over ATM to preclude the inefficiency of IP fragmentation. 6.2.2 Address Resolution In order to operate IP over ATM, a mechanism must be used to resolve IP addresses to their corresponding ATM addresses. For instance, consider the case of two routers connected across ....

....traffic. Finally, Section V summarizes the current effects of fragmented traffic on the monitored links. II. TERMINOLOGY This section introduces the terminology used in our discussion of IP packet fragmentation. Several of these terms are illustrated in Figure 1. As described in RFC 1191 [4], the Path MTU is the smallest MTU of all of the links on a path from a source host to a destination host. In the context of this paper, values observed for a Path MTU reflect the smallest MTU of all links between the source and the passive monitor. We define an original datagram as an IP ....

....This is similar to the cellular hand off that is discussed in section 1.4. To deal with some of the problems that were introduced above, 6] recommends the use of two non TCP specific mechanisms as well as several standard TCP mechanisms. The first mechanism is the use of path MTU discovery [33]. Path MTU discovery probes the network to determine the maximum packet size a connection can use on a given network without having to undergo IP packet fragmentation. This allows TCP to use the largest possible packet size, without incurring the cost of fragmentation and reassembly. Since TCP s ....
