But this is about the MTU size on the MPLS link, where those points a made may not apply (because they are more about the VC's MTU).

I think that's a good number, yes.

Thanks, I did had a ME3600 on the other side as well. The asr920 was a 12sz-im
though, which is slightly different than the other 920's (different ios image, first
of all).


Thanks,
