Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to communication technology, in particular to a method and device for discovering and processing the maximum transmission unit of a tunnel, and a router. Background technique
[0002] Generic Routing Encapsulation (hereinafter referred to as: GRE) and another IPv4 network data carried by an Internet Protocol version 4 (hereinafter referred to as: IPv4) network (IPv4 over IPv4, hereinafter referred to as: IPIP) The protocols are all Layer 3 tunneling (Tunnel) protocols of Virtual Private Network (hereinafter referred to as: VPN), which uses tunneling technology between protocol layers, and can retransmit packets at the original sender. The encapsulation is carried out at the remote receiver to decapsulate and restore the original message, so as to achieve the purpose of traversing the network. Among them, the GRE tunnel can encapsulate the packets of certain network layer protocols, such as the IP protocol and the Internet packet ...
