back to the old school days teacher used to tell me the maximum IP packet size is 65535 bytes. and i know it is because the maximum length word in IP is 2 bytes and one byte = 8 bits thus 2^16 = 65536 . here is my question since the length is convered from bytes to bits ...
When the maximum packet size exceeds the network’s physical MTU, it impacts performance. 5. Fragmentation of Packets for Different MTUs Let’s assume a source device using TCP communication that sends an IP packet over the network. The packet size must be smaller than the MTU of the tar...
Ideally the maximum packet size and whether or not to run DPLPMTUD would be separate flags — in my use-case we have guarantees from the lower layer so don’t need to work upwards to discover the max packet size — but otherwise yes, this seems like a good step in the right direction!
All network routers check the size of each IP packet they receive against the MTU of the next router that will receive the packet. If the packet exceeds the MTU of the next router, the first router breaks the payload into two or more packets, each with its own headers. Each new packet...

Windows Embedded CE accepts and uses the MTU size reported by the adapter even when it exceeds the normal MTU for a given media type. For information about enabling TCP to discover the MTU or largest packet size, see TCP/IPv4 Configurable Registry Settings. See Also Concepts Network Driver ...
This value is called the maximum transmission unit (MTU), or maximum packet size in TCP/IP terms. Figure 1 shows the relationship between MTU and frame size. Figure 1. Relationship of MTU to frame size If an IP datagram is to be sent out onto the network and the size of the ...
Discards newly received non-default external routes and does not reply with an LSAck packet. Checks whether the number of external routes is still greater than the preset maximum number when the overflow timer expires. Restarts the timer if the number of external routes is greater than t...
The maximum size of an Ethernet frame is 1518 bytes, which consists of the 14-byte frame header, 4-byte frame trailer, and 1500-byte upper-layerIPpacket. The size of 1500 bytes is the default Ethernet MTU value. Network layer protocols, such as the IP protocol, determine whether to fragm...
