Well, this is a router box with 2 physical interfaces (say xl0 and rl0). Rl0 has a gif tunnel (gif0) over it. Xl0,rl0 and gif0 announce in their ifconfig an MTU of 1500, but 1300 bytes traffic generated from this box and sent through the gif0 interface is fragmented by the rl0 interface to 1280 bytes... Please also specify the OS name (which I guess is >FreeBSD) and its version. FreeBSD 4.7 (yes it is a little bit old, but I think the problem still persist in more recent versions)... And that's why I'm asking if this behavior is normal or not... Thanks. Konstantin
