+ ---help---
+ 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 60).
+
+ This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which
+ block ICMPv6 Packet Too Big 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:
+
+ ip6tables -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.
