That's the MTU of an Ethernet frame... Perhaps that's why.

Hey! This means that EQEMu won't be efficient on Token Ring or FDDI! Bah! :P

That's the *default* value for the MTU of an Ethernet frame. And while it is wildly the most common value, it's by no means a given that every node has that value. Perhaps read the correct/current MTU in the given runtime environmentto avoid possible fragmentation? Or at least debug this code while sniffin' in a nonstandard environment to see if this is a real problem?
