Hi all

Usually we configure ip mtu 1400 for DMVPN tunnel interface and there is a
standard calculation for it. I did it long time ago and trying to see, if I
am having the right understanding now.

Ethernet MTU - 1500

IPSec IP header - 20 bytes
GRE IP header - 20 bytes
Payload IP header - 20 bytes
TCP header - 20 bytes

Total of 80 bytes.

1500 - 80 = 1420

Including others like ESP header & trailer, GRE header etc, we round it to
1400.

Hence, we add ip mtu of 1400 to DMVPN tunnel interface, to avoid
fragmentation.in between.

Correct me, if I am wrong.



TCP MSS


TCP MSS => IP MTU - TCP header size which is 1400 - 20 = 1380 bytes

We usually configure "tcp adjust-mss 1360".

Any idea why it is 1360 instead of 1380?
