Hi All,
 
Is there any rationale ( security "protocol" or something...) to use MSS= 1212, 1260 or 1262?

Like Sake said, it could be folks who are worried about MTU issues.  There should be a law passed to force everyone to get path mtu discovery to work!

Between IPSec, GRE, IPSEC+GRE, etc., it's not unusual to see MSS in the 1300 range.
