For maximum performance the MTU of an HSCI interface was set to the value
of the MTU of its HiperSockets interface. However, the MTU of a
HiperSockets interface can be very large, and when the data packets are
not sent over the HiperSocket but over the corresponding ethernet
interface (which usually has a smaller MTU size) then it can happen that
the large packets are silently dropped. One example would be communication
from an HSCI in one CEC to another HSCI in another CEC via Ethernet.
To solve the problem, the MTU setting in this tool is removed, and the
default MTU value is used. Thus, the minimum value of the MTUs of the both
converged interfaces is used as the MTU of the HSCI interface.
