Ok, I get confused here. First my mistake, I meant that I changed
overridemtu to 16260 and it worked in my case, I didn't change it
manually. Second I have  found that many people have configured it
with a large value an it have fixed some problems in some situations.
So I don't understand you said that it doesn't make sense. I
appreciate further comments.
