[c-nsp] DMVPN/mGRE on L3VPN - anyone experience issues with encapsulation overhead/MTU?

[JP Senior]

Hey, all.
I'm looking at an option to consolidate and reduce complexity of a multi-provider L3VPN network in a way that lets me also use internet-based VPNs for backup.  Right now I have dual provider uplinks at all of my sites to provide me inter-office WAN connectivity.

DMVPN is a nice and easy option where I can have everything run in a single routing domain, drasticially simplifying my network topology.

Has anyone experience with a network running in such a design?  I am concerned about increased latency, and worse, packet overhead.  I'm not sure I'll be able to get jumbos on these providers, so I'll have to deal with ipsec/gre overhead.  I don't do anything crazy blocking with ICMP, but I'm still hesitant to move forward with such a design.
