[j-nsp] TCP-MSS adjust does not work on MPC10E

[Olivier Benghozi]

MPC10. SCBE3? SCBE3 => hyper-mode by default.
As there's no hypermode firmware in MPC-16x10, only the MPC10 would really be in hyper mode, and therefore the firmware loaded in the MPC10 would be the faster hypermode one, while the firmware in the 16x10 will still be the standard one with all the features.

I wonder if tcp-mss is expected to work in Hyper-Mode, in fact. It's not documented... but this would explain a difference of behaviour between both cards.

You should try:
show forwarding-options hyper-mode


Of course if you're in standard mode and/or not using SCBE3, these thinkings are to be thrown away :)
