This. Standardize your core to somewhere well above 9k, so you can potentially offer customers 9k and still transport all overhead you need. Typically 9178 Cisco IOS and 9192 Juniper JunOS. But it's not really a big problem if physical MTU does not match, if you have reason to avoid that, just make sure IP MTU (CLNS MTU, ipv6 MTU etc) match instead. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
