 MTU:TheMaximumTransmissionUnit
(MTU)isaparameterthatdeterminesthelargestpacket
size(inbytes)thattherouterwillsendtotheWAN.IfLANdevicessendlargerpackets,therouter
will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the
connectiontoyourISP.Typical
valuesare1500bytesforanEthernetconnection.Iftherouter's
MTUissettoohigh,packetswillbefragmenteddownstream.Iftherouter'sMTUissettoolow,
therouterwill fragment packetsunnecessarilyandinextremecasesmay be unabletoestablish
someconnections.Ineithercase,networkperformance
cansuffer.
