Even if you set the MTU size it can still be resized down if there's a
segment in the communications path that cannot handle the larger size...
There's a negotiation & notification process in the communication stream
that helps with that.

Subject: Cisco VPN client MTU problem

We are comparing Cisco Concentrator and Juniper Neoteris performance and
noticed that IVE is faster when downloading a same file from a same
server.
Using sniffer I can see Cisco VPN client set packet size to 536 bytes
while Juniper Neoteris set to 1148 bytes. I tried to use VPN client MTU
tool to set MTU to 1492 or 1300 or 1148 bytes, but sniffer still shows
536 bytes. I tried to use DrTCP, still no luck. My question is why I
can't change the packet size? I tried different version of Cisco VPN
client, same result. Any idea? Thanks. Yoshi
