Ping the remote end CloudBridge appliance using the do not fragment option:įor a CloudBridge client, ping the terminated CloudBridge appliance.įor standard MTU of 1500 bytes, the maximum data size is 1472 bytes (MTU minus 20 bytes IP header and 8 bytes for the ICMP header). Open the command prompt in a Windows computer that connects behind the local end CloudBridge appliance. To find the Maximum Size of IP Data Payload, complete the following steps: You must be able to access the Windows command prompt. In this case, manual MSS tuning is the workaround solution for acceleration to occur properly on the CloudBridge appliance. If this occurs, host computers cannot know the correct MSS. Because of the strict IT security standards, ICMP packets might be dropped in the WAN path. This is done by responding to the oversized packet with an "unreachable" Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packet. In some cases, routers in the WAN path of the CloudBridge peers can negotiate MSS and advertise the MSS to the host computers.

If significant protocol overheads are added, CloudBridge packets are fragmented and acceleration does not happen. Virtual Private Networking (VPN) tunneling protocols such as IP Security (IPSec). Public dial networks using Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), namely as a virtual private dial-up network (VPDN). Examples of those WAN infrastructures are: Some scenarios in the field have shown that some WAN infrastructures might not provide enough space for MSS of 1,380 bytes because additional protocol headers are added to the IP packets. The maximum segment size (MSS) limits IP data payload size, that is defined as 1,380 bytes by default in a CloudBridge appliance, assuming the WAN infrastructure allows a standard IP packet maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of 1,500 bytes. The CloudBridge acceleration parameters are sent through TCP options, which use the space in the IP data payload.
#PING WITH LARGE PACKET SIZE HOW TO#
This article describes how to find out the maximum size of IP data payload that can traverse a WAN environment without fragmentation.
