Actually I was working on real network environment that I don't have access
now anymore.

I am only surprised that nothing worked when neighbors were flapping unless
when I put MTU equal to each others!!!

Does it have to do with LMI can't be fragmented or something? any idea?

The output error was (K-values mismtach).
