Research direction
Start by reading RFC 1191 and RFC 8201, then trace the networking implementation in inetstack to identify the relevant packet and path-handling entry points. Done means Path MTU Discovery is supported for the applicable IPv4 and IPv6 behavior described by those RFCs, with coverage for the resulting network conditions.
