From 70d19f805f8c047fc0a28dec9306b3773971c8d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Oester Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 10:44:51 +0200 Subject: netfilter: xt_TCPMSS: Fix IPv6 default MSS too As a followup to commit 409b545a ("netfilter: xt_TCPMSS: Fix violation of RFC879 in absence of MSS option"), John Heffner points out that IPv6 has a higher MTU than IPv4, and thus a higher minimum MSS. Update TCPMSS target to account for this, and update RFC comment. While at it, point to more recent reference RFC1122 instead of RFC879.
