IF the community can declare it a bug for non-4821 hosts to send
jumbos (presumably anything larger than 1500 bytes) then this makes
matters easy for tunnels; the tunnel could simply look at the LinkMTU
of the underlying physical interface and admit the packet if it is
no larger than LinkMTU. If the community *cannot* declare it to be
a bug, then tunnels will have to perform some special handling to
support jumbos. Right?

Thanks - Fred
