Do transit routers in the wild actually get to do IP fragmentation these days? I was wondering if routers actually do it or not, because the source usually discovers the path MTU and sends its data with the least supported MTU. Is this true?
Hypothetically true. Unfortunately, enough places do bozo firewalling and drop the ICMP Frag Needed packets to severely limit the utility of PMTU Discovery.
