Configuring a static path MTU for a specific IPv6 address

You can configure a static path MTU for a specific destination IPv6 address. When a source host sends a packet through an interface, it compares the interface MTU with the static path MTU of the specified destination IPv6 address. If the packet size is larger than the smaller one of the two values, the host fragments the packet according to the smaller value.
