Hello All, I reported this issue last Thursday and have not yet heard back from =anyone.  Do you require further clarification on any points?  If so, =please let me know.

The MTU in the Packet Too Big message is actually 56 for =this test, and not zero as shown in the procedure diagram.   TN2                    TR1                    NUT    |                      |                      |    |-------------------------------------------->|    |   1.Echo Request     |                      |    |   (1280 octets)      |                      |    |                      |                      |    |<--------------------------------------------|    |   2.Echo Reply       |                      |    |   (1280 octets)      |                      |    |                      |                      |    |                      +--------------------->|    |                      |  3.Packet Too Big    |    |                      |    (MTU 0)           |    |                      |                      |    |-------------------------------------------->|    |   4.Echo Request     |                      |    |   (1280 octets)      |                      |    |                      |                      |    |<--------------------------------------------|    | 5.Echo Reply         |                      |    |   (1288 octets)      |                      |    |                      |                      |    v                      v                      v Also, can someone please explain to me why the NUT would echo 1288 bytes =when it receives only 1280 bytes?  I am referring to #4 and #5 of the =above diagram.I am having trouble understanding why this test expects the NUT to =fragment the echo reply when the packet size is equal to the IPv6 =minimum link MTU.  We do not fragment until we reach the link MTU of =1500.  Even if we set the link MTU to 1280, the IPv6 minimum link MTU, =we should not fragment a 1280 byte echo reply packet.  I'm sure I am =overlooking something here.  Your advice is greatly appreciated.Best Regards,Tammy Leino
