Discovering path MTU with ping command

To discover path MTU, you perhaps use ping command with the “Don't Fragment bit”. “Don't Fragment bit” can be set by a command line option of ping, but the option is different between BSD-based systems (including Mac OS X) and Linux. Here, we note the command line option for both BSD-based systems and Linux.

In BSD-based operating systems such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, and Mac OS X, you can use the “-D” option to set “Don't Fragment bit” like the following command.

# ping -D -s <size> <target-host-name>

In Linux operating systems, you can use the “-M do” option to set “Don't Fragment bit” like the following command.

# ping -M do -s <size> <target-host-name>

Use inbound interface's IP address for ICMP errors on Linux

Linux operating systems return ICMP errors with outbound interface's IP address by default. When we use Linux as a router and we want to resolve the path by traceroute etc., this mechanism sometimes bothers us because the results of traceroute may not the actual path for asymmetric paths. To use inbound interface's IP address for ICMP errors on Linux, execute the following command:

# sysctl -w net.ipv4.icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr=1

If you want to keep this setting after next boot, add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf on your Linux:

net.ipv4.icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr=1
