Exactly. This is the configuration I have on 12.0.0.7:

neighbor 12.0.0.13
  remote-as 12
  tcp mss 8936
  update-source Loopback0
  address-family vpnv4 unicast
  !
  address-family ipv4 rt-filter
  !
  address-family l2vpn evpn

So my understanding *was* that this command is enforcing MSS=8936, no
matter if it's SYN or SYN ACK.

That's my thought as well. But this is strange as I have 7.5.2 and 6.7.3 in
the lab and the behavior is the same.

I guess it's time to ask TAC friends :)

Thanks!

Kind regards,
