Thanks rajeevsrikant, but i still have the same question.
Did you inform us that VMWARE "recommends" ... that is, is it a recommendation or requirement?
I'm testing with the command below:
vmkping ++netstack=vxlan -s 1472 -d -I vmk1 ip_dst (works fine!)
vmkping ++netstack=vxlan -s 1600 -d -I vmk1 ip_dst (dont work!)
When the packet size exceeds 1472 bytes, ping does not work, however my extended network is working ... so I wonder if it's a performance issue ...
thx!
