Nilesh is right  I think , in juniper you specify only payload size ,
in cisco you specify full frame size (ip header+icmp header+Payload)

I think it is inversed, cisco add the IP headers to the size you specified, and juniper include the IP header in the size you specified.

the problem appears when the packet arrives juniper interface with packet size larger than the interface MTU, which will drop the packet, while if this happened with cisco interface, it will fragment the packet.

Juniper will fragment the packet when it arrives on interface with large MTU and leaves on interface with MTU smaler than the packet size.


thanks

Cisco includes ip and icmp header size in the total specified packet
size. Payload in the case is 1510-20-8 = 1482 bytes. Juniper adds icmp
and ip header to the payload size you specify. So 1510 becomes 1538
bytes of ip packet.

Thanks,
Nilesh
