The more I think I understand MTU, the more I wonder if I truly understand.
Simple problem I hope, but on a physical link between a router and a firewall with IPSec over the top (via Azure vNet) I have the following -
- Mismatched MTU between Physical interfaces 1460 and 1500
- Mismatched MTU between Tunnel interfaces 1500 & 1424
I have taken a packet capture and I see encrypted traffic, with the highest frame length of 1434.
Now, I have bad performance over this link, but I can't see the fragmentation in the packet capture. Is wireshark putting them back together? Is mismatched MTU bad, I think so. I even see the tunnel MTU higher than the interface MTU so this would also cause fragmentation?
