The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the size (in bytes) of the largest protocol data unit that
the layer can pass onwards. A larger MTU brings greater efficiency, because each packet
carries more user data while protocol overheads, such as headers, remain fixed; the resulting
higher efficiency means a slight improvement in the bulk protocol throughput. A larger MTU also
means processing fewer packets for the same amount of data. However, large packets can
occupy a slow link for some time, causing greater delays to following packets, and increasing
lag and minimum latency.
8. To change any of the above values, enter yes, then use step 5, step 6, and step 7 to change the
values.
Alternatively, to leave the values unchanged, enter No or press Enter.
