Thanks. So I want to set my Layer2 MTU on the Mikrotik Interface to something greater than 1530, then the MTU on the interface to something greater than 1530, but less than I have the Layer2 MTU set to? Then just set the MPLS MTU to 1530? Is there any rule of thumb for the gap between all of these?
