Comment does not match code. Should be VNET_MAXPACKET.

Also, some general questions- 

how does this work for broadcast packets, e.g., if I do 
   "ping -b <broadcast address> -s 60000"

the 65535 MTU is only useful betwen two guests if 
inter-vnet-link is set to on, right? (i.e., can you use it when you 
go from a guest to another IP address on a different physical host)?
