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

[Alex Pressé]

I run a similar topology. On the tunnel interfaces I have "ip tcp
adjust-mss 1452" and "tunnel path-mtu-discovery". No problems encountered;
though the traffic profile is basic remote office file and print.
