Tunnel MTU size of R5.2.1 is 4 bytes smaller than R3.6.2

Summary

After upgrading SZ to R5.2.1, tunnel MTU size became smaller than R3.6.2.

Question

Is it a software defect that tunnel MTU size was smaller than previous release?

Customer Environment

R5.2.1 SZ-100

Resolution

Tunnel MTU size calculation was changed after R5.1.1.
The following is tunnel MTU size when the interface MTU size is 1500.
 
Tunnel type (IPv4)R5.1 – GRE MTUR.5.1.1 – GRE MTU
eth_ipv4_rksgre14501446
eth_ipv4_rksgre + Encryption14401440
eth_ipv4_udp_rksgre14421438
eth_ipv4_udp_rksgre +Encryption14401424

AP side has one more check when sending MTU size to DP.
AP has a check and maximum size will be 1440, so actual tunnel MTU size will be 1440 even if AP CLI output shows 1446 for eth_ipv4/rksgre.

rkscli: get mtu gre1
gre1 MTU: 1446
Ok
