Gigabit ethernet sounds nice but the MTU of 1500 is really restricting that technology.
While there are certainly shortcomings to using GbE as a public exchange infrastructure, I fail to see how a 1500 byte MTU has anything to do with it. In every network I have ever seen, there have very, very rarely been any packets larger than 1500 bytes. The only case that I can think of where that becomes important is in a MPLS exhange model where adding the label to large packets would cause fragmentation or broken TCP sessions for the PMTUD challenged.
