Not sure exactly what you're saying, but I think you're assuming different behavior.

At any rate, if a link does not support the minimum size, it would not be used for forwarding
LSPs or for data traffic, and sure, the
campus might partition.

As for 'reporting the MTU size in a TLV'.  The one place that would be useful is in the LSP
of the one RBridge with highest priority, to inform all the other RBridges what the campus-wide
minimum MTU size for a link is. Any links smaller than that would not get used. Again, yeah...this
might cause partitions.

As for discovering the MTU size: this would be done with a new, simple, but as yet unspecified protocol
which I described in a previous email.
