Setting an MSS Value for NAT64 Services

The maximum segment size (MSS) value defined in TCP specifies the maximum length of a TCP packet to be sent without fragmentation. Two devices exchange SYN packets to negotiate the MSS value for a TCP connection to be established.

Context

If the size of packets for NAT64 processing is larger than a link MTU, IPv6 packets are fragmented. You can reduce the MSS value in TCP, which prevents a NAT64 board from fragmenting packets and helps improve NAT64 efficiency.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run nat64 instance instance-name id id

    The NAT64 instance view is displayed.

  3. Run nat64 tcp adjust-mss mss-value

    An MSS value is set in TCP SYN and SYN ACK packets.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
