[c-nsp] Adjusting MTU on 802.1q links

I don't know why it never occurred to me, but on 802.1q trunk links, non-native vlans are encapsulated within 802.1q headers, therefore max packets would have to be fragmented. On trunks that support it, should standard practice to bump up the mtu on both sides to account for the 802.1q header. If so, what are the downsides?
