Indeed ... a tunnel (GRE, IPSec, etc...) is an interface. How is this
different from any other interface from an OSPF point of view  If mtu is
configured on such interface (and in most cases it should be) that value
should be used in OSPF not 0.

Either way it has zero reassemblage to the "OSPF virtual link" hence it
seems this is a clear overinterpretation of the RFC.

I don't think either -bis is needed, nor errata.

Thx,
