Why not just use the IP_DONTFRAG socket option? I must be > missing something pretty basic here. :-) I was thinking of a blanket option that would cover anything a socket could have instead of having options inside "every" single place. Of couse, IP_DONTFRAG applies very well in most situations. However, I don't think that SO_DONTFRAGMENT would be a replacement but rather a more "generic" option. Well, I could just be missing something and saying something naive. :) So I apologize if I am missing something obvious.
