Path MTU Discovery
--------------------------
When trying to enforce path mtu discovery (`PMTU <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_MTU_Discovery>`__), you need to make
sure packets leave the network with the :code:`DF` set. The kernel offers a tunable :code:`net.inet.ipsec.dfbit` which
offers 3 options, :code:`0`, clear the bit on packets leaving the firewall (default), :code:`1`, set the DF bit or :code:`2`
to copy the bit from the inner header.
