[OpenWrt-Devel] netifd: per-interface MTU settings vs per-route MTU settings?

Hey!

There's an ongoing discussion in the ModemManager package in github
related to how the MTU may be configured in the network interface
based on what the MM bearer object reports:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/11383

E.g.:

$ ip route show
default via 25.225.105.222 dev wwan0 proto static src 25.225.105.221 mtu 1430

Looks like the protocol handler implementation for netifd may allow
setting the MTU to the routes associated with the network interface,
instead of assigning the MTU value to the interface itself. Are both
methods completely equivalent? Is there any reason to avoid setting
the MTU in the interface when using netifd, or just not implemented
yet?

Cheers!
