<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Maximal Transfer Unit is the largest possibl [[layer 2]] frame size on a network.<br /> <br /> Ethernet uses a 1500-byte in the 10Mbps and 100Mbps forms, and commonly uses 9000-byte MTUs in 1000Mbit (Gigabit) ethernet. Ethernet MTus can be as high as 16384 bytes.<br /> <br /> PPPoE connections and other tunnels will often use a MTU of 1492, to accout for the tunnel overhead.<br /> <br /> Other (less common) MTU sizes:<br /> *16 Mbit/Sec Token Ring: 17914<br /> *4 Mbits/Sec Token Ring: 4464<br /> *SONET: 4460<br /> *FDDI: 4352<br /> *X.25: 576<br /> <br /> ATM uses a cell size of 53 bytes, but the LANE layer on top of it emulates a larger MTU.</div>
