Ping with data of size 1500 fails. We are able to send TCP packets with fragmentation but ICMP fails. Is there anything specific we need to do to get ping to work?

Can you receive 1500byte packet as well?

If no, incoming fragmented packet may be discarded.

Yes we are not able to receive 1500byte ping packets. Yes we suspect that. Is there a fix for this?

I think it's depending on network stack.

Please check <WICED-SDK>/WICED/network/

By the way, do you actually need large packet as ICMP?

I'm not sure what you want exactly.

We are using LwIP stack.
