Well since you are stuffing an IP packet inside another, in order to avoid splitting packets you want to set the MTU to 1492 so that the 'space' used by the encapsulating package is taken into account. That's the way I understand it. But that is for the packets that get encapsulated, you don't want to reduce the MTU on the encapsulating ones. I guess what I am saying is make sure you are reducing the MTU on the correct interface. -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Smith [mailto:bw...@re...] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 8:40 AM To: dev...@li... Subject: Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Very poor performance of ppp 2.4.5 I thought you were supposed to set pppd's MTU to 1492 (or some slightly less value) to allow for something in the header. Or something like that ... it's been a long time since I dealt with pppd -- back in my dialup days. - BS On Tue, Apr 5, 2011 at 08:22, Heiko Zuerker <he...@zu...> wrote: Hey, 1.4.2 also has the 2.6 kernel, which changes things quite a bit. I try things like forcing the MTU size to like 1500, see if that changes anything.
