6.2 mtu now limits size of incomming packet

[Stephen Clark]

Hello,

Did something change in 6.2? If my mtu size on rl0 is 1280 it won't
accept a larger incomming packet.

kernel: rl0: discard oversize frame (ether type 800 flags 3 len 1514 > max
 1294)

I don't think it worked this way in the past.

Won't this affect pmtud?

man page for ifconfig says mtu limits size of "transmission" not reception.

     "mtu n   Set the maximum transmission unit of the interface to n, 
default
             is interface specific."

TIA,
Steve
