Hi

I got the following statement about a leased line:

> The maximum MTU is 1500 bytes, we do not support Jumbo Framing.
>
> As the service is Ethernet we only use PPPoE, there is no ATM

Can anyone confirm the following calculation is correct?

 2 bytes = PPP
 6 bytes = PPPoE
14 bytes = Ethernet
---------------
22 bytes = total overhead

So for FireQOS:

LINKTYPE="ethernet overhead 22 mtu 1500"

I've based it on info I found here:
  http://ace-host.stuart.id.au/russell/files/tc/tc-atm/

in the section: Overhead and MTU Calculations

Cheers
Phil
