Consider the example of traffic passing through the L2VPN service:
PE1 has the following MTU values on the interfaces:

CE1 sends packets of 1500 bytes, CE2 sends packets of 1800 bytes respectively. Since the MTU of the bridge
domain is smaller than the MTU of the packet from CE2, the packet from CE2 will be discarded before hitting
the bridge domain. Similar will be the case if the MTU interface facing the mpls-core (gi1/0/1) is less than the
MTU coming from the CE packets (taking into account the mpls header).
