[j-nsp] MTU signalling on l2circuit

[Harry Reynolds]

If I follow, the circuit should come up, and operate fine, as long as
the lesser of the two MTUs is not exceeded. L2 VPNs cannot fragment. If
the CPEs are set for different MTUs you will likely see issues with OSPF
adjacency formation (stuck in exchange mode).


It is easy to have MTU issues with Ethernet, as the default 1500 byte
MTU is easily exceeded when the CPE generate a 1500 byte frame due to
the added MPLS/VPN encap. It would be better if you can raise the MTU to
be larger than the CPE can generate and the same on both ends.
