[c-nsp] Best practice, MPLS and MTU settings

[Mack McBride]

I concur with 9100.
Which providers have you run into problems with 9100?
I know certain cisco gear doesn't support packets that big for certain links.
The 3750/3560 series for example only support 9000 on gigabit interfaces and much smaller on 10/100 ports.

I aim towards a 9100 byte ip mtu, in order to guarantee a 9000 byte MTU for customers with plenty of overhead on our side.  Sometimes this isn't possible due to third party provider core link restrictions.
