Good day mate. I am very kan cheong when I see you put in a MSS so big for a mobile network. Sorry for hijacking your post to bad mouth someone else.
We are both wrong about TSopt. It is 10 bytes.

Anyway, did you tried ping with DF bit set to see if it works?I just proved that whoever use the website to justify local routing is low quality nonsense.
You didn't read the whole thread so here goes:
The website states it is a test for web browser. So how do they come out with hop count?
blacktubi suggested the web site may be doing a traceroute behind the scene.
I found that it is not and they are just using packet TTL. I back it up by submitting a proof.
BTW the whole network is smoother is a joke.
Now hop count is not accurate in MPLS network. I already written it few days back to Ashren but he didn't rebuke any of my technical explanation. I will repeat the gist here.
In MPLS network, a single tunnel will reduce TTL by 1 hop, regardless of if it pass through 1 router or 100 routers. Compare to path that didn't enter MPLS tunnel, each router is considered 1 hop. This is also the reason why I have written in the past about local telco should provide BGP Looking Glass which at least shows the MPLS Label routing.
You spread misinformation, you need to back it up. I challenge your points but you don't dare to quote me directly and counter it. It is not even 1 week and you have mental health problem just doing technical discussion?
