Besides routing protocol convergence is there any service issues with running mismatched MTU? Assuming the packet flow does not exceed the smallest MTU value. On 8/31/2012 10:28 AM, Dan White wrote:

Has anyone run into a situation where the MTU at one end of a link was configured differently from the MTU at the other end? How did you catch it?
In general, do you see any need for a debugging tool to be standardized to find such mismatches?
Performing a ping with a large packet size '-s', and/or with packet fragmentation turned off '-M do' have been our primary tools for finding MTU (layer 2 and layer 3) mismatches.
