Coming across Phil Dykstra's paper from 1999 is what got me thinking
about it (well, that and moving a lot of data between Europe and the
West coast of the US).

It might not be a bad idea to take some of what is learned on Inet2 and
backport it to the 'net where possible.  I also discovered that Linux
will do RFC4821 PMTU discovery if you set
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mtu_probing to the proper value. It is turned off
by default.

Solaris is on by default it appears.
