change mss for PPPoE and IP Route users

Sun Nov 21, 2021 8:31 am

hello guys
good time

I calculated my network MTU size from ping 4.2.2.4 -l 1455 -f and I realized my network MTU is 1455

now, I have a question aboute change mss for my users
what ch-mss size should I set for PPPoE-client users and IP Route Users ?

IP Route : 1455-40 = 1415 is correct ?
PPPoE : 1455-40-6 = 1409 is correct ?

MSS = MTU - TCP Header - IP Header ...
What are those 6 Bytes on your second calculation ?

I calculated my network MTU size from ping 4.2.2.4 -l 1455 -f and I realized my network MTU is 1455
Some ping programs the length option specifies just the payload data, others the entire packet.

For Windows it is the payload, so from that if -l 1455 works and -l 1456 fails the MTU is 20 (IP header) + 8 (ICMP header) + 1455 (payload) = 1483, and correspoding MSS is 1483 (MTU) - 20 (IP header) - 20 (TCP header) = 1443.

PPPoE overhead = 8 Byte / its incorrect and not should calculated ?

It is 8 Bytes not 6... yes it should be calculated ...
