Sending Ethernet packets of size 5000 bytes. I see those on Windows but do not see those on Ubuntu's mirrored interface. I do see packets less than 1500 bytes

Expected behavior is that I do see all the packets on mirrored interface

Contributor guide
Research direction
The report provides a .wslconfig mirrored-networking setup and a reproducible 5000-byte packet test, but names no source files or tests. Start by reproducing the setup and comparing packets visible on Windows with those visible on Ubuntu's mirrored interface. Done means packets larger than 1500 bytes are forwarded and observable there.
