[c-nsp] L2TPv3 and VLANs

[Paul Stewart]

Thanks... we don't want to touch each workstation - would involve way too
much time for our installations...;)

With UDP traffic, does anything "normally" break that comes to mind on
larger MTU? I can't think of anything hence why I'm asking...

Cheers,

Paul

Yep, ran into  that to; on the upstream layer-3 hop from hosts do 
something like "tcp-mss adjust 1300" which will ensure tcp packets haver 
enough head-room for l2tpv3 headers.  With UDP traffic, this get more 
tricky; I haven't done this yet but one can adjust max segment size on 
end-station hosts to something like 1300 (which of course would affect 
all protocol types); there are open source tools to do this, but 
downside is that all the end-station hosts need to touched for 
consistency; i suppose I'm too lazy : - (
