   I'm trying :)   
   What is also weird is that my system has been working with previous kernel   
   versions. It has only just become broken again.   
      
   I'll try dropping another 12 bytes off the ip route command and retest:   
      
   ip route change default via 10.0.0.1 mtu lock 1400   
      
   Am I right in that the below datagram is wrong, because the mss is 1460,   
   which is above the value of the mtu in the routing table? Shouldn't the   
   value of the mtu have been factored in here, and a new mss calculated based   
   on the mtu?
