Public bug reported:

1. If the MTU of eth0 is 1500, network-manager fails to establish a
pppoe connection, and the MTU of eth0 (not ppp0) is then automatically
lowered to 1492. Now network-manager can successfully establish a pppoe
connection. If I manually set the MTU of eth0 back to 1500, network-
manager would fail again. See attached log.

2. The Access Concentrator of my ISP offers MTU values of both 1492 and
1442. pppd-2.4.5 in Ubuntu 14.04 adopts 1492 as the MTU of the ppp
device, while pppd-2.4.7 in Xenial adopts 1442. Setting the lower MTU on
the WAN link (ppp0) can easily cause PMTU-D problems, especially for
remote VPN clients.
