[brussels-dev] Brussels GUI prototype and requesting feedback

[Raoul Carag]

The idea about giving specific sizes to choose from was to help prevent 
the admin from having to guess. We started with the two values, but were 
also thinking that feedback would give other optimal sizes as well.

But I do see the need to still include the ability to specify a 
preferred MTU value in an input field. Taking this action assumes that 
an "out of the ordinary" situation requires it, and that the admin knows 
what he is doing.

I think Garrett's suggestion can be useful here. Custom tasks can be 
done in an "Advanced" window, so that the current MTU window is reserved 
for the more common "default" configurations. But optimal sizes can 
still be added to the two that are currently in the prototype, if there 
are any recommendations.
