    I think this is what you need but I did not verify it on my Solaris
    box beforehand:

    disable PMTUD:
    # ndd -set /dev/ip ip_path_mtu_discovery 0

    set maximum MSS to 1460:
    # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_mss_max 1460

    You can enumerate the options to change by using ndd as well.

    $ man ndd
