(e.g., IPv6 Packet Too Big messages) that indicate when a packet is dropped
because it is larger than the local router MTU. DPLPMTUD can also optionally use
these messages. This use of ICMP messages is potentially vulnerable to off-path
attacks that successfully guess the addresses used on the path and reduce the PMTU to
a bandwidth-inefficient value.

PMTU to a bandwidth-inefficient value.

An endpoint MUST ignore an ICMP message that claims the PMTU has decreased below
1280 bytes.
