TCP MSS Adjust

Restrictions for TCP MSS Adjust

The TCP MSS Adjust feature only works if the MaxSegSize option is the first option included in
the packet. If a non-typical TCP packet is received, where MaxSegSize is not the first option in the
packet, the TCP MSS Adjust feature configuration will have no effect.

Configuration Task for TCP MSS Adjust

Perform this task to configure the maximum segment size (MSS) for transient packets that traverse the
Cisco 10000 Series router, specifically TCP segments in the SYN bit and to configure the MTU size of
