 Sets the Don\'t Fragment bit in sent packets\&. When an IP datagram has its DF flag set, intermediate devices are not allowed to fragment it so if it needs to travel across a network with a MTU smaller that datagram length the datagram will have to be dropped\&. Normally an ICMP Destination Unreachable message is generated and sent back to the sender\&.

 Sets the More Fragments bit in sent packets\&. The MF flag is set to indicate the receiver that the current datagram is a fragment of some larger datagram\&. When set to zero it indicates that the current datagram is either the last fragment in the set or that it is the only fragment\&.

Comment 1 Lukas "krteknet" Novy 2013-05-23 15:43:22 UTC

Current package version in rhel7 is 

nmap-6.25-2.el7

which fails verification:

# man nping | grep mf
             --mf                             : Set More Fragments flag.
# man nping | grep md
       --md (More Fragments) .

Comment 2 Lukas "krteknet" Novy 2013-05-24 17:30:27 UTC

verified for  nmap-6.25-3.el7

# man nping | grep mf
             --mf                             : Set More Fragments flag.
       --mf (More Fragments) .
# man nping | grep md
