Description of Working Group:



The MTU Discovery Working Group is chartered to produce an RFC



defining an official standard for an IP MTU Discovery Option.  ``MTU



Discovery'' is a process whereby an end-host discovers the smallest MTU



along a path over which it is sending datagrams, with the aim of



avoiding fragmentation.
