The Path Maximum Transmission Unit (PMTU) setting controls the length of time that the Firebox lowers the MTU for an IPSec VPN tunnel when it gets an ICMP Request to Fragment packet from a router with a lower MTU setting on the Internet.
We recommend that you keep the default setting. This can protect you from a router on the Internet with a very low MTU setting.
