For modern hardware and networking gear, MTU's above 9000 are common now. For instance, we have switches that support 9216, and intel 10gbit adapters that support 15500. There are a few reasons to want this:
Being able to offer the default fabric networks to end users at 9000 (9216 would be plenty, as it should be 9000 + 50byte overhead)
Being able to offer end users a flat VLAN for their use. Allowing them to utilize VXlans with a 9000 MTU
# dladm show-linkprop -p mtu ixgbe0 LINK PROPERTY PERM VALUE DEFAULT POSSIBLE ixgbe0 mtu rw 9000 1500 1500-15500
I am testing an update to the constants.js to provision compute nodes with an MTU of 9216. I will update with the results here.
I think bumping up the max to 9216 would suffice for our use case, but still provide the ability to keep users from setting it to something horribly detrimental.
