Thanks for the info. I have managed to fix it by tweaking the MTU on my 10Gb interfaces between P routers.
I set the interface MTU to be 1548 Then set the family mpls MTU to be 1522 This seems to have helped.

Double check with JTAC if there is no regression or corner case? David Problem Report Number PR568550 Title With default settings,4 bytes lesser ip payload can be sent when MX-80 is acting as P router compared to M7i Release Note MPLS MTU was reserving 3 labels length apart from the MPLS labels that come in the packet. So due to this the packets were getting dropped in P router when ping packet size was 1456B for physical MTU of 1514B(excludes CRC).

Experienced some mpls mtu issue on trio platform. Known PR... Envoyé de mon iPad Le 12 févr. 2013 à 22:17, "Luca Salvatore" <l...@ninefold.com<mailto:l...@ninefold.com>> a écrit : I have a few sites connected via a VPLS core. The core devices are all MX 10 routers connected via 10Gb fibre. I'm having problems doing file copies (SCP between two Centos VMs). The issue is that the file copy never gets anywhere, on the Centos CLI it sits at 0% then says 'stalled' To fix this issue I have just set the MTU on the Centos machines to be 1400 - when this is in place the copy works and I get nice speeds. I don't believe I should have to modify the MTU though, shouldn't path MTU discovery take care of this? For example - I have done some TCPdumps, I can see the sender is sending traffic with the DF bit set, however I don't see any 'ICMP fragmentation needed' coming back from the MX saying the MTU is too big, I assume this should be the case. I haven't modified any of the MTU's on the MX, everything is just the default. I also have normal layer 3 running over the fibre between the routers and when I use that I don't see any issues, so it must be something to do with VPLS. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Luca. _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net<mailto:juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net> https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.
