What (who) is Maximum Transmission Unit - definition

SIZE OF THE LARGEST NETWORK LAYER PROTOCOL DATA UNIT THAT CAN BE COMMUNICATED IN A SINGLE NETWORK TRANSACTION
Maximum Transfer Unit; Maximum transfer unit; MTU (networking); Maximum Transmission Unit; Maximum receive unit

Maximum Transmission Unit         
<networking> (MTU) The largest number of bytes of "payload" data a frame can carry, not counting the frame's header and trailer. A frame is a single unit of transportation on the {data link layer}. It consists of header data plus data which was passed down from the network layer (e.g. an IP datagram) plus sometimes trailer data. An Ethernet (V2) frame has a MTU of 1500 bytes but the size of the frame can be up to 1526 bytes (22 byte header, 4 byte CRC trailer). See also fragmentation. (2000-10-07)

Maximum transmission unit

In computer networking, the maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the size of the largest protocol data unit (PDU) that can be communicated in a single network layer transaction. The MTU relates to, but is not identical to the maximum frame size that can be transported on the data link layer, e.g. Ethernet frame.

Larger MTU is associated with reduced overhead. Smaller MTU values can reduce network delay. In many cases, MTU is dependent on underlying network capabilities and must be adjusted manually or automatically so as to not exceed these capabilities. MTU parameters may appear in association with a communications interface or standard. Some systems may decide MTU at connect time, e.g. using Path MTU Discovery.
