Everyone's MTU is the default 1500, I checked all systems in the path. The wireshark display says 1516 in the Length column for the NFS packet that always shows up before the ICMP errors. If I expand the "IP V4" line in the packet, it says "Total Length: 1500" for that READDIRPLUS Reply which says 1516 for the capture length. It also has the "Don't fragment" flag set. It looks like the 16 byte extra is confusing it, but I have no idea why that is different than the IPv4 length info.
