I make a EOIP over PPPoE, there is a lot of packet loss.

I googled. This is a issue relate to MTU/MRU (Like VPN over PPPoE).

If MTU of the physical interface is 1500 then

1500
- 8 (pppoe+ppp header)
- 28 (gre header)
- 14 (eth header)
=1450

yep. so, in case of PPPoE, MTU will be 1500 - 8 - 20 = 1472

Dear Chupaka,
I have a RB1100AHx2 as concentrator PPPoE and a lot of tunnel EOIP over a big ospf network. Mikrotik set by default 1480 as MTU. Is it correct use 1480? If is not correct, how much must be and where must I change MTU, because on different message read different MTU. Where must I change the MTU, in pppoe server or on every EOIP interface?

Now pings, going from a simple ospf network to ospf + EOIP network + PPPoE concentrator, increase a lot and I don't understand where I'm wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Carlo
