A couple of weeks ago, my Google-fu led to me some kind of "lsp-mtu"
command for FRR. I tried it everywhere but it wasn't supported.



So better not make config where FRR needs to inject larger LSP PDU,
might be more excitement than what people would like. Someone can test
what happens when you redistribute more prefixes than can fit in 1492B
LSP PDU and if those LSPs propagate to Ciscos and Juniper, blackhole
or crash the network.

On these servers, I'm pushing only 2 routes into the IS-IS domain.
