Section 11.3 says:
This cmsghdr will be passed to every socket that sets the IPV6_RECVPATHMTU socket option, even if the socket is non-connected. Note that this also means an application that sets the option may receive an IPV6_MTU ancillary data item for each ICMP too big error the node receives, including such ICMP errors caused by other applications on the node.
It should say:
This cmsghdr will be passed to every socket that sets the IPV6_RECVPATHMTU socket option, even if the socket is non-connected. Note that this also means an application that sets the option may receive an IPV6_PATHMTU ancillary data item for each ICMP too big error the node receives, including such ICMP errors caused by other applications on the node.
Notes:
Change: IPV6_MTU should be IPV6_PATHMTU.
