| |
Hello developers,
I googled around all day, but did not find any satisfying answer. Is there a maximum packet size when I use IP multicasting in a local ethernet LAN? Or more precisely, does the multicast code in Linux handle an IP fragmentation/defragmentation of a 63K UDP multicast datagram, which is transmitted over an 1500bytes MTU ethernet? Or should I stay on the safe edge and don't construct datagrams > 1500 so I'll avoid fragmentation?
