Technical Q: MaxMtu on MiWi

[nuihc]

Hi All

What do you guys recommend for the MaxMTU value for MiWi? And which program do you recommend to change it?

Thx

dr. tcp changes mtu
most people have been using mtu around 1450, I've pushed down to 1415, I find it best suited below 1420

What is the MTU on a LAN? (I mean the number not what does MTU mean)

ala my friend Google.com search "MTU definition"

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest datagram than can be transmitted by an IP interface (without it needing to be broken down into smaller units). The MTU should be larger than the largest datagram you wish to transmit unfragmented. Note: this only prevents fragmentation locally. Some other link in the path may have a smaller MTU: the datagram will be fragmented at that point. Typical values are 1500 bytes for an ethernet interface, or 576 bytes for a SLIP interface
