We have no plans to modify it at the moment, because we mainly use it between users and data center in WAN. But we will be very pleased to see your PR to support it.
Can you give a hint on how difficult the task to support MTU>1500 probably will be? I'm trying to use f-stack / DPDK to use as a system for a few high bandwidth TCP streams. Currently, a single core on my 2GHz ARM machine is able to send 7.5Gbps with an MTU of 1500. I expect this number to increase a lot if f-stack could make use of MTU>1500. Where does this limitation comes from, FreeBSD or just some ff-tools?
ff_ifconfig f-stack-0 mtu <= 1500 is all ok, buf ff_ifconfig f-stack-0 mtu > 1500 is valid argument. As we know, 9000 is a suitable value for the data center's server's MTU, although the middle net-ware is mostly 1500 in WAN Net. Will it be supported later?
