Title: Need help: bridge does not flood ethernet frame with mtu > 1500

Hello all,

On my previous post I maked a mistake on my analyze. The bridge forward well any kind of frames it received. The problem was I used frame with VLAN. On Is-Is hello frame, the frame has an MTU greater than 1500 because of the 4 bytes VLAN enclosed. So all Is-Is hello packets were dropped.

The architecture used is:

        eth1 (real physical interface) ---- BRIDGE ---- uml0 (tuntap interface to UML)

I solve the this problem with the real interface by changing the mtu to 1520. But the issue remains on the virtual side. I can not modify the tuntap's MTU to something greater then 1500.

Does someone know how I can do to change the mtu of the tuptap device ?

In advance thanks.

PS: The MTU must not be lower than 1500 because the simulated Is-Is has to form topology with a real router where the interface MTU can not set to a value lower than 1500.
