--- Comment #11 from Rodney W. Grimes <rgrimes@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to P Kern from comment #10)
I believe that issue of not being able to forward pacekts through a VM using
vmx(4) with MTU >4K is that on the receive side the incoming packets are
chunked up into n * 4k pages and these do not pass through the forwarding c=
ode
correctly.

This in effect frag's the jumbo frame as it tries to traverse the router,
and I do not think the code is up to that task, nor is that a desirable
situation.
