Chris, If you look in the hardware documentation for the Open Systems Adapter (OSA), it has a "normal" MTU of 1492, so your Linux is matching the hardware settings. The OSA does support jumbo frames (8992) if your network is configured to use them.

On all of my x86_64 Linux boxes the default MTU is 1500. But with SuSE (both 11 and 12) on s390 they seems to be 1492.
