I have a problem which I have not been able to resolve.
I have an application that I am testing for sending video over a bridged VPN connection using a pair of MT RB411GL boards. One one board I am running OVPN server with ethernet/tap configuration which is bridged to the ether1 port.
On the other end I have OVPN client which is bridged to the ether1 port.
I can make a connection from a PC using OVPN client software and ping with packets that are up 1500 in length. Video works fine.
I can ping from the console of the client RB411GL across the OVPN tunnel link also with packets of 1500 in length.
But, if I ping from PC attached to the client RB411GL I can only get packets up to 1460 in length. All bridges are set to defaults, all ethernet ports are set to defaults. Should be able to go up to 1500.
The strange thing is that I can ping out of the OVPN server over the bridged ethernet port without issue at 1500 length, but it is only when sending through the client router that the packets get fragmented. The configuration is exactly the same at both ends.
Any ideas?
