[j-nsp] MTU size of fxp0

[Ethern M.C. Lin]

Thank you all provide suggestion and comments for me,
I learn a lot from you.

Basically, I am evaluating the function between Juniper
and Cisco in the LAB, so what I can do is what I want
to try, so I don't care about the performance in the LAB.
<grin>

But I think all of you are right, the management port is 
just for management port, don't ask too much.

Jonas:
I have modified the "net.pfe.transit_re", but it seems
nothing happen, what I can do next? I have executed
the command "ifconfig fxp0 mtu 1280", but still nothing
happened. Any suggestion?

Thank you all for your comments.

Best regards,

Ethern
