The encapsulation information is subtracted from your available MTU, so that is correct. Some cards have a bogus feature that lets you send longer frames than the normal MTU, but you can't rely on this feature being interoperable between card vendors, or being supported on all cards. I suppose you want to do this because you are trunking a channel that goes to a border device, and for some reason you have disabled receipt of all ICMP, instead of only abusable ICMP, and thus you have broken end-to-end path MTU discovery. It would be best if you were to simply fix your ICMP. -- Terry _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
