Nov 07, 2016 · Packet size, also known as MTU or Maximum Transmission Unit, is the largest amount of data that can be transferred in one packet at the physical layer (OSI Layer 1) of the network. Ethernet’s default MTU is 1500 bytes without using Jumbo Frames. For PPPoE the MTU is 1492 and dial-up connections typically used 576 back in the day. Again to clear any confusion, the reason that MTU and IP MTU can have the same size configured is due to the fact that Cisco’s IOS doesn’t calculate the 14 bytes of Layer 2 headers in the MTU command, so even if I pinged with the maximum MTU which is 1600, the router still room for the 14 bytes of layer 2 headers. Nov 17, 2008 · The IP MTU is always what you set it to on an interface, in this case 1476. GRE headers are only applied to the packets on GRE-enabled interfaces, so these packets will be 24 bytes larger than "normal" packets. so, if you didn't change the IP MTU, packets coming in on the GRE tunnel interface would be 1524.

Jan 01, 2001 · The MTU size for the connection is dependent on the machines/routers, that the packet has to travel through to reach destination. The lowest MTU of these machines/routers will set the limit for the MTU for the connection. If the MTU size is too small on your machine, then the connection will spend more time on sending headers than the actual data.
