That'll do it.  Jumbo frames with Xen are a little tricky, so it's
easiest to stick with MTU 1500, as you have done.  (If you really want
jumbo frames, change the MTU on the dom0 vif interfaces to match, and if
you use bridging, ditto for the bridge device and real interfaces.)

I suspect if your "dd" test had used a block size like 4096, rather than
1024, it would have similarly failed.
