Thanks Dave, that would be good. -John From: Dave Barach (dbarach) <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2020 10:08 AM To: John Lo (loj) <[email protected]>; vpp-dev <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Change interface default MTU to 1500
OK, how about this: I'll add a VLIB_CONFIG_FUNCTION, or [more likely] add a system default MTU parameter to one of the existing config functions. I'm sick of cluttering configs with interface MTU commands... Thanks...

Thus the question would be if it is reasonable to set default MTU size to 9000 for VPP and what kind of problem is it causing that would be fixed by changing it to 1500.
