-    larger than the MTU. This can cause issues in certain scenarios,
-    e.g. when the guest is a VPN server that needs to forward the
-    (inner) packet onward.

  https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.link.html has a
  number of [Link] options which I need to use for a flaky network card
  (TCPSegmentationOffload, TCP6SegmentationOffload,
  GenericSegmentationOffload, GenericReceiveOffload, LargeReceiveOffload)
  which are not exposed via netplan.
