Description: The tunnel MTU.

What is juniIpTunnelMtu?

Sets the maximum transmission unit, in bytes, for packets carried over this tunnel interface, defaulting to 10240. Admins lower it when the tunnel traverses links with a smaller MTU, to avoid fragmentation of encapsulated packets that can hurt throughput or break path-MTU-sensitive applications. Setting juniIpTunnelMtu to 1476 accounts for the GRE encapsulation overhead on a tunnel riding over a standard 1500-byte Ethernet path.
