      @ajtuk Yep I have not had any outages either, I updated to 2.8.1 then decided to test those commands as it was something I wanted to do to further diagnose.

      I think we may have found the reason then. Hopefully Netgate can repeat this.

        Yep. So to be clear you have IPAlias VIPs on the PPPoE interface?

                issue related to fragments

                What issue?

                A little bit more info now as to why if_pppoe fixed it.

                I think mpd tcpmssfix wasnt working properly, if_pppoe uses scrub instead for same feature. I did a little bit of testing with iperf and that reports a weird mss value when using mpd combined with tcpmssfix.

                I havent however confirmed on the cloudflare icmpcheck.popcount test yet as site seems to be down now.

                  Hmm, interesting. So with mpd5 you ended up with both mssfix methods and that created an unknown situation?

                      Ok I think we have a fix for this, we are testing it internally. It should be in the next 25.11 build.

                          Not yet. The issue is more complex that initially thought. Enabling the pppoe encapsulation there prevents it crashing out but it never matches any traffic.
