The MTU of wireless networks is 2,312 bytes. This size includes the packet headers. The Wireless MTU is considerably larger than the Ethernet recommendation for wired networks, which is 1,500 bytes.

Medium-size frames, such as the 512-byte packets used in this test, are often considered useful, because they’re close to the “average” Internet size of roughly 300 to 400 bytes.

I was wondering what the optimal packet size / MTU is for optimal bandwith/data transfer.The network is a gigabit ethernet - intranet over fiber optic cable.The server is a sun amass server. There ...

One method to test and detect a reduced MTU size is to use a ping with a large packet size. Here are some examples of how to do this. C:UsersScottHogg> ping -l 1500 192.168.10.1 ...

This post will show you how to change the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) using Terminal and UI on Windows. It defines Maximum Packet size.
