@Kunal Kadian

we consider the bottleneck MTU only when we discover the path MTU using ICMP packets. Otherwise we don't consider it. How is host A supposed to know the bottleneck MTU unless and until it uses path MTU discovery technique?

@Somoshree Datta 5 Correct. But I thought that it is always assumed that minimum MTU is known (using MTU discovery technique). Maybe I will have to look other questions of similar kind, to clear the doubt.Did you see any such other question?
