Description: "TCPMSS" target support

More info: This option adds a `TCPMSS' target, which allows you to alter the MSS value of TCP SYN packets, to control the maximum size for that connection (usually limiting it to your outgoing interface's MTU minus 40). This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which block ICMP Fragmentation Needed packets. The symptoms of this problem are that everything works fine from your Linux firewall/router, but machines behind it can never exchange large packets: 1) Web browsers connect, then hang with no data received. 2) Small mail works fine, but large emails hang. 3) ssh works fine, but scp hangs after initial handshaking. Workaround: activate this option and add a rule to your firewall configuration like: iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \ -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
