I believe that the problem for this dilemma is fairly simple - the use of path-mtu-discovery allows you to use the maximum mtu size supported on the network. Amos On Apr 16, 2007, at 3:21 PM, Jared Mauch wrote: > On Mon, Apr 16, 2007 at 06:26:38AM -0400, Jeff S Wheeler wrote: >> On Mon,

With 1524 to 1530 of MTU size should works, but remember you will need to increase the MTU on your Switch too.. Greetings :) Jonas Frey escribió: > Jared, > > i've done this on most of my network. However the 12 port FE pic > (P/PE-12FE-TX) only does 1532 bytes max MTU (and this only with newer

Jared, i've done this on most of my network. However the 12 port FE pic (P/PE-12FE-TX) only does 1532 bytes max MTU (and this only with newer firmware...). This is why i am asking. Regards, Jonas On Sun, 2007-04-15 at 23:17, Jared Mauch wrote: > there should be no reason you can't increase

there should be no reason you can't increase your 'mpls infrastructure' MTU to something larger, eg: 4470 or otherwise. Some providers have gone as far as increasing the internal MTU to the 9k range. This can have some serious wins in some cases, eg: tcp performance as it relates to ibgp

2007-04-15 Thread Jonas Frey
Hello, i'am looking to deploy a vlan-ccc l2circuit (via MPLS). The customer wants to use MPLS himself on this circuit so i am wondering what MTU would be needed for this to work. I am calculating with 1526 bytes, is this correct? Any help appreciated. Regards, Jonas
