Yes, it's a VDSL2 modem in bridge mode and PPPoE is configured on the router (RT-AC68U/Merlin) with WAN MTU of 1492. A pretty common setup I imagine. Should I worry at all about the MTU size of the local network devices (a mix of Android, Windows and iOS), which is 1500 by default?
Thanks for this great piece of information. Just found it while in process of my own home network optimization. I have a question though, how do you know for sure that Path MTU Discovery is broken and MSS Clamping is really needed here? Don't iOS/Sony just use PMTUD for packets meant to be sent...
