This is the number of bytes that FOR SURE will not cause fragmentation, because the minimum MTU size that an host can set is 576 and IP header max size can be 60 bytes (508 = 576 MTU - 60 IP - 8 UDP) By the way i'd try to go with 1472 bytes because 1500 is a standard-enough value.
This example tests the MTU of SONET/SDH interfaces, reports when the MTU is less than the value of the min-mtu parameter, here set to 2048, and causes the commit operation to fail. The for loop selects all SONET/SDH interfaces that start with so- and that have an MTU statement that is defined and less than the value of min-mtu. Nov 28, 2016 · Add 28 to that number (IP/ICMP headers) to get the optimal MTU setting. For example, if the largest packet size from ping tests is 1462, add 28 to 1462 to get a total of 1490 which is the optimal MTU setting. Change the MTU on the routers WAN Setup. TheInternet de facto standard MTU is 576, but ISPs often suggest using1500. If you frequently access Web sites that encounter routerswith an MTU size of 576, you may want to change to that size.(Apparently some users find that changing the setting to 576improves performance and others do not find any improvement.) I'm running Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS, and I want to override the MTU my cable company provides via DHCP. They provide an MTU of 576 and I want to use 1492. I can change it with ifconfig, but it won't persist across reboots. crypto ikev2 fragmentation [mtu mtu-size] Example: Device(config)# crypto ikev2 fragmentation mtu 100: Configures IKEv2 fragmentation. The MTU range is from 96 to 1500 bytes. The default MTU size is 576 for IPv4 packets and 1280 bytes for IPv6 packets. 576 bytes is the minimum size of IPv4 datagram every device has to be able to receive (it can be whole or fragmented).

Mar 23, 2016 · Minutes of Meeting 576. 23 March 2016. Informal issues relating to committee meeting etiquette. Specifically, when and how reasonable objections addressed by the committee in deliberation are brought to the full senate for discussion or to provide information beneficial to decision-making.
Edited answer for clarity. Devices can receive packets with smaller MTU's, but per the RFC, 576 bytes was the right size to use. Most OSs enforce a number around 576, it varies slightly - so there's really no reason to send smaller than necessary. – Jordan Head Jun 7 '15 at 13:22 The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the largest possible frame size of a communications Protocol Data Unit (PDU) on an OSI Model Layer 2 data network. The size is governed based on the physical Specifically, the size of the header to subtract from the MTU (whether it is the MTU of the outgoing interface or IP's minimal MTU of 576 bytes) is now at least 18 bytes larger. This is incorrect. The value for the MSS option is only adjusted by the fixed IP and TCP headers. Helpful hint: One way to verify whether if it is an MTU problem is to try and access the application or website via dial up access. Since dial up uses a default MTU of 576 bytes you will not have the same problems as broadband. If you have problems with both broadband and dial up access then the problem is probably something else. Summary Sep 16, 2016 · Hi All. I have and a number of customers have had problems with WAN links using Dynamic IP. If this link state changes up/down standby the UTM will change the MTU size from what was set (usually 1500) to 576.
