From what I understand if you have a 1500 byte packet payload which is the
max
mtu allowed through most networks. To add a tag or stacked tag you will need
to
increase the mtu 4bytes to hold the tag. Most people just go to set the mtu
to
say 1530 or close to that to make sure that there is no issue with tags or
tag
stacks.

Thanks everyone for your responses. Do routers running MPLS need to
increase their MTU size to accomodate the additonal overhead of the
MPLS header or are packets over 1496 bytes fragmented?
