Insight
IPv6 nodes use ICMPv6 amongst other things to report errors encountered while processing packets. The 'Packet Too Big Message' is sent in case a node cannot forward a packet because the size of the packet is larger than the MTU of next-hop link.
In case of an incoming ICMPv6 'Packet Too Big Message', there is an insufficient check on the proposed new MTU for a path to the destination.
