I have been running for a few days with MTU=automatic (1500) on Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.4.0-38-generic with no overrun errors. I didn't try with any kernels between 4.4.0-21 and 4.4.0-38, so I don't know at which update it would have begun to work, but it appears to be fixed.

Upon inital system start, I can successfully ping a remote server, but once I try any TCP connection, even ping fails. If I fallback to 3.19.0-16, everything is working OK. WORKAROUND: In Network manager, set the ethernet connection's MTU value from automatic to 8192.
