Subject: Traceroute using larger packets

Hi :

  Would like to find out is there any implementation
  or way to change traceroute on Linux so that it will
  support packet size larger than 1500 bytes, e.g., 
  2800 bytes ? It complains about packet size too large, 
  though I thought IP layer will take care of segmentation.

  The very same traceroute implementation when 
  compiled on solaris allows larger packet size.

  Wonder why ?

  Thanks.
