There would probably be some concrete value to having a flag day on the internet where we just universally agree to bump the MTU up to something a little larger and gain across the board.
If I'm not mistaken, this happened with both TLS and DNS - there were multiple days where all the major service providers flipped the bits to allow everyone to test the systems at scale and fix any issues that occurred.
- kubanczyk 5y ago14 days after IPv6 flag day, m'kay everyone?
- kazen44 5y agothis is far, far harder to do compared to DNS flag days. changing the value to something else is futile. What needs to happen is people should allow ICMP into their networks and allow PMTUD to work correctly. Path MTU discovery has solved this issue, but people keep dropping ALL icmp traffic.
