Hi,
This is a follow-up to the RFC patch sent by Chris Wright, at:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2008-November/msg00225.html
With this patch, instead of hardcoding the MTU to an high value, we set
the MTU of the tap interface to the same MTU value set on the bridge
interface. The current code uses the default tap MTU value and lowers
the bridge interface MTU without any need, killing performance.
ACK, this looks like a reasonable approach to - the initial physical NIC
attached to the bridge will set the preferred MTU, so we're just following
that now.
