At some point, it becomes ridiculous to keep band-aiding 40+ year old
hardware designs with ever increasing software complexity. The hard
thing to know is when you hit that tipping point.

If we are going much beyond 9K, the hardware has to change, because a 32 bit
CRC doesn’t cut it for really large packets.
If the hardware has to change, we can push MTU negotiation into the hardware.
And completely bypass the momentum involved with getting every existing
implementation on the
