Everything I've seen mentions "amount of data that can be

the ethernet header.
You're right that the DLPI spec. does not give a concrete definition
for the term, leaving room for interpretation.
:)
The Solaris and HPUX implementations of DLPI, however, have
historically never included the data-link header as being part of the
DLSDU.
I wonder if it is "The Mentat implementation of DLPI never included the
data-link header as being part of the DLSDU" - IP on Solaris and HPUX
has the same origin.
But everything else aside, that looks like as good as it'll get.
Yes. Everyone who works on these operating systems understands that an
ethernet MTU is 1500 bytes, which is really the size of the ethernet
payload. This has nothing to do with IP payload sizes, but that's kind
of beside the point... :-)
