Networked Computers can send ICMP Type 17 messages to know the subnet mask of the local network. Only hosts configured to be routers or gateways can respond to these messages. By default Windows hosts do not respond to ICMP Type 17 (Address request) messages as restriced by RFC 1122.
Path maximum transmission unit (PMTU) discovery is the process of discovering the maximum size of packet that can be sent across the network between two hosts without fragmentation (that is, without the packet being broken into multiple frames during transmission). By discovering the path MTU (PMTU) and limiting TCP segments to this size, TCP can eliminate fragmentation at routers along the path that connects networks with different MTUs. Fragmentation adversely affects TCP throughput and network congestion.
