Geoff is awesome. Surprised he didn’t mention the other larger issue with PMTU Discovery being tunnels and firewalls. Everyone along the path needs to be able to readdress the ICMP3,4 back up the tunnel chain and every firewalls must allow them as well from random outside addresses for its segments. Can be a real pain. And hence why a couple of worked with Netscreen to get MSS rewrite going and avoid it… also surprised he didn’t mention that nasty hack, most other network vendors adopted such a mechanism too.

Vibes High Fidelity Earplugs

I like how slim and easy to fit the Vibes High Fidelity Earplugs are. The clear plastic mushrooms hide well in your ears, so the kids at the venue won't think you look like a loser for caring about your ears. (You're not!) They lower sounds by an average of 22 decibels and are designed to lower every frequency relatively evenly, so you don't lose all the high end when you put them in at a show. Three sizes of interchangeable ear tips mean they'll fit most ears.
