Hi,
I was working with a issue, in which we were observing that the citrix application page is freezing intermittently for 5-10secs and again working without any discosnnections.
On troubleshooting I did nt observe any abnormal latency or packet loss on the GRE tunnel from source vlan till server destiantions.
The citrix traffic flows via a GRE tunnel to remote location then via plain internet flows to a internet facing citrix server behind a firewall.
On analyzing the traffic using Ethereal I have observed huge number of duplicate ACK packets and TCP retransmissions, hence i derived it has some thing to do with packet fragmentations.Hence I modified that TCP MSS size to 1400 from 1412.
Hence I modified the GRE tunnel configs as below
Router#sh run int tu 691
interface Tunnel691
description XXXX
ip address X.X.X.41 255.255.255.252
ip mtu 1500
ip tcp adjust-mss 1400
tunnel source Loopback69
tunnel destination X.X.X.X
end
Still there is intermittent issue.Can you pls help me to find out where excatly the issue can lie.

Observe with the packet size of 1436 with the command ip tcp adjust-mss 1436. Let the physical interface MTUs to be set at 1500 .

We had a similar issue and issued the following commands and everything is working well.
ip mtu 1476
ip tcp adjust-mss 1436
