clamp

This option limits the TCP MSS (Maximum Segment Size) to the size of the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) discovered by path MTU discovery for the inner protocol. This ensures the packet traverses through the inner protocol without fragmentation. This option is enabled by default.

Supported on the following devices:

Syntax

Parameters

tcp-mss

Limits the TCP MSS size to the MTU value of the inner protocol for tunneled packets
