Dec 17, 2017 Tip: Increase Internet speed by manipulating MTU size - CNET As the name implies, MTU refers to the largest data packet that can be carried over your network pipe. MTU is measured in bytes, so a setting of "1600" would equal roughly 1.5 KB per packet. Maximum transmission unit - Wikipedia In computer networking, the maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the size of the largest protocol data unit (PDU) that can be communicated in a single network layer transaction. The MTU relates to, but is not identical to the maximum frame size that can be transported on the data link layer, e.g. Ethernet frame.. Larger MTU is associated with reduced overhead.

MTU settings - Plusnet Community Although BT's equipment does, PlusNet's doesn't support RFC 4638. So the router's MTU for fibre needs to be 1492 because 'fibre' connections use PPPoE and the 8 bytes for the PPP header have to come out of the available 1500 in the ethernet frame, rather than being added to it. For PPPoA, as used on ADSL connections, the correct router MTU is 1500, the same as normal ethernet. How to read, calculate and set MTU in Windows, Linux and

MTU parameters usually appear in association with a communications interface (NIC, serial port, etc.). The default MTU size is 1500, however for some networking technologies reducing the MTU size and allowing fragmentation can help eliminate some connectivity problems occurring at …
