Think mtu 😉 it is not unique solution but it is big one 😉

IPSec and packet loss
For those of you which configuring IPSec and have packet loss in transit… Perhaps this configuration could help :
crypto ipsec client ezvpn REGISBTP connect auto group VPN-CLIENT2 key jsdfxkqwpoe local-address FastEthernet0 mode network-extension peer 22.22.22.22 username ipsec1@client2.vpn password jsdfxkqwpoe xauth userid mode local interface FastEthernet0 ip address 192.168.1.36 255.255.255.0 ip mtu 1460 no ip route-cache cef ip tcp adjust-mss 1420 duplex auto speed auto crypto ipsec client ezvpn CLIENT2 ! interface Vlan1 ip address 10.20.0.1 255.255.255.0 ip mtu 1460 ip virtual-reassembly ip tcp adjust-mss 1420 crypto ipsec client ezvpn CLIENT2 inside ! ip forward-protocol nd ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254
The really interesting command (which resolves packet loss) is :
no ip route-cache cef
Ok, now you use FastSwitching and use more CPU, but the service is now OK agains 50% packet loss…

ASN 4 bytes : How to calculate and configure it …
To begin : How to calculate the ASN 4 bytes we need to configure it ?
So : ASN-decimal = 197632.
197632 % 65536 = 3
And
197632 - (65536 * 3) = 1024
Ok. Now we can configure it on a Cisco router :
router bgp XXXX
nei 197.66.55.33 remote-as 3.1024
I let you go on the configuration as always it works.

I think I will update it during the journey toward my objective, but I think it is a right roadmap. For me, it is a TODO List and something which remind/force me to go on…
