[cisco-bba] How can Cisco CPE PPPoE MTU size adapt to MRU of LNS?

[Victor Lyapunov]

Hello Christopher

I was looking for a way that takes care of all types of traffic. I have seen
in previous IOS versions that
the pppoe-client requires the definition of a vpdn-group.

In the vpdn-group definition there is a command "ip mtu adjust"

vpdn-group PPPoE
 request-dialin
  protocol pppoe
 ip mtu adjust

I was hoping this to provide a solution but I was not able to test it
though.

I am not sure how other CPEs (apart from Cisco) behave. At least when the
PPPoE session is initiated from my windows PC it does not take into account
the MRU of the LNS

Thnx
