I tried setting "mtu 1456" on the cisco side and now large pings do not
kill the tunnel anymore even with MPPE enabled, but I do not understand
why pppd on the other side sets the tunnel uses 1452 as the link MTU.
Only the MRU is negotiated:
rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <mru 1456> <auth chap MS-v2> <magic 0xbf448cfd>]
sent [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <mru 1456> <auth chap MS-v2> <magic 0xbf448cfd>]
How can I fix this without forcing the MTU on the Linux side?
