Maximum transmission unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In computer networking, the term Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) refers to the size (in bytes) of the largest packet that a given layer of a communications protocol can pass onwards. The MTU may be fixed by standards (as is the case with Ethernet) or decided at connect time (as is usually the case with point-point serial links). While a host will know the MTU of its own interface and possiblly that of its peer (from initial handshakes) it will not initially know what the lowest MTU on the link is and in any case higher protocol designs may require packets of a size larger than the network links support. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/MTU_(networking)   (673 words)

MTU - Maximum Transmission Unit The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest datagram than can be transmitted by an IP interface (without it needing to be broken down into smaller units).

Transmission Control Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Applications send streams of octets (8-bit bytes) to TCP for delivery through the network, and TCP divides the byte stream into appropriately sized segments (usually delineated by the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of the data link layer of the network the computer is attached to). The TCP window scale option, as defined in RFC 1323, is an option used to increase the maximum window size from 65,535 bytes to 1 Gigabyte. The minimum size header is 5 words and the maximum is 15 words thus giving the minimum size of 20 bytes and maximum of 60 bytes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol   (3372 words)

Cisco - Understanding Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) on ATM Interfaces Maximum transmission unit (MTU) defines the largest size of packets that an interface can transmit without the need to fragment. For example, the maximum value is 9288 bytes on both the ATM interface processor (AIP) and network processor module (NP), and 4470 bytes on the PA-A3 and PA-A2 port adapters. Configuring the MTU size on the subinterface does not affect the maximum frame size that can be transferred on a Catalyst 6000 family ATM module. www.cisco.com /warp/public/121/mtu_atm.html   (2067 words)

MTU - Maximum Transmission Unit If the MTU is set too large for routers that are between the computers, these routers then fragment this information into a packet size that the router can handle. Windows has a built-in MTU Discovery that will adjust for this by sending out a packet that is marked as "Not Fragmentable". Regardless of the MTU setting, the MTU will be further reduced to account for the network overhead if Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is used. www.cbs-soft.com /MTU.htm   (420 words)

MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - Solving problems with your MTU   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01) Setting your computer's MTU value too low would make downloading less efficient because a greater percentage of the packet is taken up by the packet header which contains a variety of information about the packet, source, and destination. If you set your computer's MTU value too high, some computers along the delivery path would be required to break these packets into smaller pieces before accepting them and passing them to the next computer. The MTU on his DSL line is also 1500 bytes, but PPPoE uses 8 of these bytes for an 8-byte PPPoE header, so the MTU of his PPPoE channel to his ISP is only 1492 bytes. www.eastserve.com /opencms/opencms/My_Computer/help_support/mtu.html   (1937 words)

Maximum Transmission Unit definition - define Maximum Transmission Unit MAXIMUM TRANSMISSION UNIT - The largest size of a data packet that can be sent over a TCP/IP or other packet- or frame-based network. Using a higher MTU is recommended for fast networks, while slower or more congested networks need a smaller MTU, as there is a greater chance that not all of the packet will make it through in one shot. Of course, using a small MTU on a fast network causes a lot of extra traffic to be generated, as the packet has to be split into smaller pieces with more conversations for data to be transmitted. www.myispforum.com /glossary/Maximum+Transmission+Unit.html   (150 words)

Internet Connection Booster 2000 v3.5.0 (FINAL) When a host receives a packet that is larger than it's MTU, it will break the large packet into multiple smaller ones, each with their own header and data (which is then reassembled by the receiver). Implemented as a safeguard against packets looping between routers, it specifies the maximum number of routers that the packet may be forwarded through to it's destination. This value, called the Maximum Segment Size (MSS) is different from the MTU because it only addresses the maximum size of the data portion of the packet, and does not include the header. toshi.50megs.com /icb2000   (916 words)

5.2 Choosing a maximum transmission unit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01) MTU is always chosen./38/ The knee in the performance curve is around 2400 bps. Below this, efficiency is sensitive to small changes in speed (or MTU since the two are linearly related) and good efficiency comes at the expense of good response. To illustrate, note that for a 9600 bps line with header compression there is essentially no benefit in increasing the MTU beyond 200 bytes: If the MTU is increased to 576, the average delay increases by 188% while throughput only improves by 3% (from 96 to 99%). www.freesoft.org /CIE/RFC/1144/15.htm   (248 words)

If you reduce the MTU on the system trying to do path MTU discovery to a point where it is less than or equal to the former path MTU, it will no longer try sending packets large enough to cause problems. alive.znep.com /~marcs/mtu   (1308 words)

What is MTU? The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is the size of the largest datagram that can be sent over a network.

What is MTU? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary Ideally, you want the MTU to be the same as the smallest MTU of all the networks between your machine and a message's final destination. For example, the MTU of many PPP connections is 576, so if you connect to the Internet via PPP, you might want to set your machine's MTU to 576 too. Most Ethernet networks, on the other hand, have an MTU of 1500, which is the default MTU setting for Windows 95. www.webopedia.com /TERM/M/MTU.html   (305 words)

MTU Size Error Feedback: Since routers cannot fragment datagrams, they must drop them if they are forced to try to send a too-large datagram over a physical link.
