You use VPN and experience severe performance problems.
•
You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons and now you are
experiencing connectivity or performance problems.
If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400. If
you are willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum
value of 1500 until the problem goes away. The following table describes common MTU
sizes and applications.
Table 3. Common MTU sizes
