RE: Question on Ipv6 address

["Keith Medcalf" <kmedcalf () dessus com>]

 The "default" mtu of 576 is because, well, 2400 baud signaling is pretty
 darn slow and interactive performance (or any kind of multileaving of more
 than a single connection packet stream) is, what do we call it, laggy.
 Sort of like trying to telnet while doing a bulk transfer if you have
 bloated buffers, and do not use a decent QoS scheduler -- only with echo
 times in the order of seconds per character.

 I believe LCP uses a signed two-octet integer for frame size negotiation,
 so you can negotiate quite large frames if you so desire and so configure
 your endpoints.
