tinc - Dec 2010 - PMTUDiscovery and ClampMSS with mixed tincd versions

> Currently, i have nodes with PMTUDiscovery =yes and ClampMSS = yes.
Hello,

these features were introduced in 1.0.13 correct ??

I also understand that the two settings are by default "yes" if not
explictly set to "no" in the config file.

what may happen if I have a network with mixed versions from 1.0.11
and 1.0.13, where the older daemons do not implement that feature ??

it is better to explicitly disable the feature in that case ? (it is
not very handy to upgrade all at once because some are embedded device
and may require a complete firmware reflash).

No. PMTUDiscovery was introduced in 1.0.3, ClampMSS in 1.0.12. MSS clamping is
not doing much in most cases, tinc's ICMP responses to large packets is
usually
enough, however there are a few cases (mostly involving firewalls that drop
ICMP packets) where it helps.

That's not a problem.

A nice feature would be able to have tincd dump all the configuration
settings for the running process, its host file, and its ConnectTo
host files.
An enterprise nice feature would be to issue a command to the network
and have every node dump all the above configuration parameters and
send them to a central node.
