* Size of the MTU for our tunnel device
- * The MTU of 1000 was found out by trial and error - 1050 didn't work for me
- * - neither via hipd nor via std-ipv6 connection (PMTU in both cases was
- * 1500)
+ * 1370 (MTU of dummy0) - 20 (IPv4) - 8 (UDP) - 6 (MAC) = 1336 (payload).
+ *
+ * Since the kernel fragments PISA packets that are too large for the dummy0
+ * interface, we could actually trade off processing of PISA packets against
+ * fragmentation. For further experiments, you can use
+ * "ifconfig pisaTunnel0 mtu $MTU" on the command line after pisa{c,s}d is
+ * started.
