[j-nsp] BGP tcp-mss

[Harry Reynolds]

Sounds like case 2009-0127-0051, which seems to have been fixed via pr 390993 around 9.4.

Hi all,

Do you why, when I set the tcp-mss to 4096 between to BGP neighbors, this one is well exchange between the TCP Connection Establishment but when I check the mss via the command "show system connection extensive" I see that the mss used is 2048 (the half).

R1 config - lo0 172.20.223.6 :

  neighbor 172.20.223.5 {
        tcp-mss 4096;
    }
R2 config - lo0 172.20.223.5

  neighbor 172.20.223.6 {
        tcp-mss 4096;
    }

One Link between R1 and R2 with MTU set to 4484.

TCPDUMP output on R2 - we see that 4096 is well exchanged :
