Anyone know how to filter traffic for an MTU value?

I know it's possible but I don't know about it being possible on dd-wrt.

Ive read that MTU is at layer 2 within the ICMP code. It is an extension. A sub type. I know for sure that it is at layer 2 but as for ICMP being the right library to use a filter on is another question. Any one know how to create your own filters at this level?

I'm trying to implement a filter for MTU value 1522. Juniper and others do this. Stop all MTU traffic at this value.

Firewall->
filter->
filter-name->
MTU->
1522->
and so on....

I will check out that link if it applies. I was under the impression that ebtables was out of date and that dd-wrt didn't use it any more. But I am assuming.

Anyone know if I can achieve this?

Setup->Basic Setup->Optional Settings

You can set the MTU.

This is to FILTER traffic. I don't want to set aMTU. I want to discard it.

Thx, for your reply however Per Yngve Berg.

A filter can be many things. It can remove
traffic on a specific ip address, it can
remove ipv6 traffic for an IP, etc, etc.

Filters are important because they can deal with mistakes in a network.

They can discard or reject traffic.

Example

iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP .... and so on

That is what I need but the code I showed is incomplete or a little different.[/u]
