Calculation of MTU on MikroTik
Maximum Transmission Unit is a term used in information technology, which refers to the size of the largest packet data that can be transmitted over a network media. MTU size is vary, depending on network technology used. An example is in the network based on Ethernet technology, the maximum MTU size is 1500 bytes. Is the data link layer of the task should specify the MTU size. Setting the MTU is usually done on the kind of networking switches, routers and so on. Very rarely do the MTU settings manually on the workstation or host. If the ip layer accepts packets will be forwarded to the network, then the device will calculate the size of the package if added with 20 bytes ip header. If it turns out that the package will be delivered has ukran MTU larger than the MTU of the device that receives the package, then the package will be difragmentasi, or cut into smaller sizes. A large MTU value makes it possible to send data faster, imagine if you have a lot of data collected so one b
