I set up L2TP tunnels between FreeBSD4.2 and Redback through VLAN =
interfaces.
Then ADSL clients connect to our FreeBSD server through PPP tunnel =
directly.=20
Actually, the PPPd is caused by L2tpd =
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/l2tpd/) to=20
genarate a PPP tunnel.

Now I met some weird problems about the MTU value on PPP interfaces.
Here is the values I set for all the interfaces,
Ethernet:1500
Vlan:1496
PPP:1496-16(L2tp header)-20(ip-ip tunnel header)-4(ppp header)=3D1456
So I set mtu 1456 and mru 1456 for ppp interfaces

I am not sure it is the right value. Any suggestion?

On the PPPoE client the default value is 1492 for mru and 1454 for mtu.

During the test, I found I can hit websites but can't download files =
from some websites.
So I droped the PPP mtu and mru to 1452 and I can download but can't hit =
some websites.

Does anybody have such experience as above? Any help will be =
appreciated.

Thanks!
Jack
