Hi,
is there a way to get cached information relating to "Path MTU Discovery"?

using the "ip" command
using a kernel module like tcp_probe
using a secret getsockopt()
or something else...

Regards,
Christophe

Maybe "ip route show cache" and "ip route get <address>".

Yes, routes created through an ICMP redirect are marked with the tag
<redirected>.
