// On Linux, OVS configures the MTU for tunnel interfaces to 65000.

// There are some edge cases (e.g., Kind clusters) where the transport Node's MTU may be
// larger than that (e.g., 65535), and packets may be dropped. To account for this, we use
// 65000 as an upper bound for the MTU calculated in getInterfaceMTU, when encap is
// supported. For simplicity's sake, we also use this upper bound for Windows, even if it
// does not apply.
