Remove an old bug item - this is not client only anymore.
Add a section describing how we "violate" the standard by allowing larger MTUs and why this is a good thing.

.Sh DEVIATIONS FROM STANDARD
|
||||
The PPPoE standard,
|
||||
.Li RFC2516 ,
|
||||
requires a maximal MTU of 1492 octets. This value is the maximum conservative
|
||||
value possible, based on the PPPoE header size and the minimum frame size
|
||||
ethernet interfaces are required to support.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
In practice most modern ethernet interfaces support bigger frames, and
|
||||
many PPPoE services allow the use of (slightly) larger MTUs, to avoid
|
||||
the problems described above.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
This implementation allows MTU values as large as possible with the actual
|
||||
MTU of the used ethernet interface.
