Should I set it anyway? If pmtu discovery is working correctly, this is - in theory - not needed. It violates the protocol guarantees anyway. But it reduces packet fragmentation with encapsulation protocols like pppoe (because pppoe reserves some extra bytes of headers which reduces your amount of payload per packet). -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred.
