Mention a pre-2.2.5 bug in the tun driver that gets tickled
by the "set mtu" command (now that we can see the IO error in the log file).

<heading>Ppp locks up during file transfers with IO errors</heading>

|
||||
Under FreeBSD 2.2.2 and before, there was a bug in the tun
|
||||
driver that prevents incoming packets of a size larger than
|
||||
the tun interface's MTU size. Receipt of a packet greater than
|
||||
the MTU size results in an IO error being logged via syslogd.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The ppp specification says that an MRU of 1500 should
|
||||
<bf>always</bf> be accepted as a minimum, despite any LCP
|
||||
negotiations, therefore it is possible that should you decrease
|
||||
the MTU to less than 1500, your ISP will transmit packets of
|
||||
1500 regardless, and you will tickle this non-feature - locking
|
||||
up your link.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The problem can be circumvented by never setting an MTU of
|
||||
less than 1500 under FreeBSD 2.2.2 or before.
