Me wonders why people ask for 40 byte packets at linerate if the mtu
is supposedly larger?
   

Support for the worst-case scenario.  Same why you spec support for
a BIGINT-line ACL without excessive impact on forwarding capacity.
 

Why large MTU then? Most modern ethernet controllers don�t care if 
you�re sending
1500 or 9000 byte packets. (with proper drivers taking advantage of the 
features there)
If you�re paying for 40 byte packets anyway, there is no incentive to 
ever go beyond 1500
byte MTU.
