Me again. I think I have found where the issue is. I have updated the network schema:

Pleiadi is also running another tunnel with an old linux 2.4.28/KLIPS FreeS/WAN 2.05 an the MTU is 1444. May anyone explain me why ipsec tunnels established with linux 2.6.16 (linux 2.6<->linux2.6) have an MTU equal to 1428? And why tunnels established with between linux 2.6.16 and other stack (checkpoint & KLIPS from FreeS/WAN 2.05 for example) have an MTU equal to 1444?
