[Ndn-interest] Data_Packet_MTU

[Nick Briggs]

We chose 8800 because in the original CCNx encoding with the overhead (encoding, metadata, signature and assuming the name was not too long) you could get 8192 bytes of content into the data packet and it would fit, using UDP, into a single jumbo Ethernet packet.

Some limit needs to be specified or you will lose interoperability between implementations.
