It Depends, if MSS MTU is smaller, it will cause chatty communication
If Oversized MSS, it will generate can't fragment ICMP
F5 LTM will detect client path MTU with following command
tmsh show net cmetrics
So if MSS is configured for 536 and path MTU is 1500, what is the max MSS...is it 536 or 1460?
