You didn't indicate what types of devices, and specifically 
the media. A very good design rule for generally reducing 
any encapsulation problems is to be sure that your WAN links 
are running significantly higher MTU than your (LAN, client, 
source/sink, etc) links; a good argument for applying jumbos
on GE used as backbone/WAN/metro...

CHeers!
