MTU, DSL router and stalling TCP
- by user38843
I am discovering stalling TCP connection problem.
The problem arises when I try to scp stuff from remote system from my home network.
My home network is connected to internet via PPPoE (ADSL+) and everything works perfectly once working from my home network. The ADSL router has MTU set to 1492 but with that setting the scp from remote system does not work - stalling! When I change the MTU on my router to 1500 the that scp works perfectly but internet accesses from my home network is very slow to most of the www sites - even local ones. Just wondering where the problem exists - my ISP blocking ICMP, etc?
Thanks!
