Jpcap Library sendPacket drops packet when DF flag is set to true

[Archana Karthik]

I would like implement Path MTU discovery using jpcap library(netresearch.ics.uci.edu). When I set the dont fragment bit, and increase the packet length, the packet gets dropped(It isn't sent)

Is there someway I could detect fragmentation needed?

icmp.setIPv4Parameter(0,false,false,false,0,false,true,false,0,0,30,IPPacket.IPPROTO_ICMP,thisIP,pingIpaddr);
System.arraycopy(packet, 0, icmp.data,0,3000);
....

sender.sendPacket(icmp);
System.out.println("Sent");
ICMPPacket p=(ICMPPacket) captor.getPacket();
.....

The message "Sent" is never printed. The program stops after sender.sendPacket(icmp). Not sure how to debug or go about this problem. Any pointers on this one?
