We've standardized on 9,000 bytes on all our switches and 
routers, especially so because we are both a C & J house.

Different line cards that support different values, 
different switch models within C that support different 
values, are fixed at 9,000 bytes, e.t.c., means that 9,000 
bytes is safe.

Most customers that require large MTU support need more than 
1,500 bytes, but hardly ever need the full 9,000 bytes. So 
even with a couple 10 or 100 bytes shy of 9,000 bytes, those 
customers that need it have been happy.

Cheers,

Mark.
