- /* RFC 879 states that the default MSS is 536 without specific

+ * IPv4: RFC 1122 states "If an MSS option is not received at
+ * connection setup, TCP MUST assume a default send MSS of 536".
+ * IPv6: RFC 2460 states IPv6 has a minimum MTU of 1280 and a minimum
+ * length IPv6 header of 60, ergo the default MSS value is 1220
+ * Since no MSS was provided, we must use the default values
