Quotes from RFC4821 7.2.  Selecting Initial Values

    It is RECOMMENDED that search_low be initially set to an MTU size
    that is likely to work over a very wide range of environments.  Given
    today's technologies, a value of 1024 bytes is probably safe enough.
    The initial value for search_low SHOULD be configurable.

Moreover, set a small value will introduce extra time for the search
to converge. So set the initial probe base mss size to 1024 Bytes.
