that's true, but when link MTU is different, it gets very nasty.
IEEE 802 standards do not permit variation in the link MTU
for Ethernet. Attempts to persuade IEEE 802 to approve use
of jumbo-MTUs (e.g. 9180 bytes + Ethernet framing) have
consistently failed within the IEEE 802.
ok, then pls think about FDDI-to-ethernet bridge (i guess it is also
spec conformant but there are products), and/or 802.11 bridges.
