Tunnel Transport MTU different from Configured MTU

Hi,

I have the following -

interface Tunnel0
 description VPN TEST
 ip address 172.27.240.10 255.255.255.252
 ip mtu 1452
 ip virtual-reassembly in
 qos pre-classify
 tunnel source FastEthernet0/1
 tunnel mode ipsec ipv4
 tunnel destination x.x.x.x
 tunnel protection ipsec profile TEST
end

 

However, when I do a show interface tu0 I see the following - I have omitted most of Output from this. Is there a specific reason for the difference in 6 bytes?

Tunnel0 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is Tunnel
  Description: TEST
  Internet address is 172.27.240.10/30
  MTU 17886 bytes, BW 100 Kbit/sec, DLY 50000 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 255/255, rxload 255/255
  Encapsulation TUNNEL, loopback not set
  Keepalive not set
  Tunnel source xxxx FastEthernet0/1), destination yyyyyy
   Tunnel Subblocks:
      src-track:
         Tunnel0 source tracking subblock associated with FastEthernet0/1
          Set of tunnels with source FastEthernet0/1, 1 member (includes iterators), on interface <OK>
  Tunnel protocol/transport IPSEC/IP
  Tunnel TTL 255
  Tunnel transport MTU 1446 bytes

 

 

 

On the opposite end of this VPN tunnel - I see the following -

 

interface Tunnel32
 description TEST VPN
 ip address 172.27.240.9 255.255.255.252
 ip mtu 1452
 qos pre-classify
 tunnel source FastEthernet0/0
 tunnel destination y.y.y.y
 tunnel mode ipsec ipv4
 tunnel protection ipsec profile TEST
end

 

When I do a show interface Tu32 however, I do not see the transport MTU configured as i do on the other router so I'm not entirely sure if the route is indeed honoring my IP MTU command of 1452

 

sh int tu32
Tunnel32 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is Tunnel
  Description: TEST
  Internet address is 172.27.240.9/30
  MTU 1514 bytes, BW 9 Kbit, DLY 500000 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 48/255, rxload 148/255
  Encapsulation TUNNEL, loopback not set
  Keepalive not set
  Tunnel source y.y.y.y (FastEthernet0/0), destination xxxxx
  Tunnel protocol/transport IPSEC/IP
  Tunnel TTL 255
  Fast tunneling enabled
  Tunnel transmit bandwidth 8000 (kbps)
  Tunnel receive bandwidth 8000 (kbps)

 

Any ideas on why I am not seeing my configured MTU under the show interface command?
