Hi Jake.
Best of my knowledge (I'm just an OpenBSD user), by looking a bit on the
kernel source, carp is not a network interface (es. real NIC interface, VLAN
interface, pfsync interface, and so on..), but it's a "watchdog for an
interface", that's used just like VRRP (no setifmtu() is need). So, even if
ifconfig show carp "l2-watchdogs" just like an interface (with an MTU too),
it's 100% not meaning: MTU of the "carpdev" interface matters.

Please excuse my, technically speaking, dirty language, but I want just to
be as much clear as possible.
Best wishes.
