MTU, or the Maximum Transmission Unit describes the largest allowed framesize on your network's datalink layer.
T1 frame | 1500 byte |
Ethernet | 1522 byte |
Ethernet JumboFrame | 9000 byte |
The MTU is configured per-server (rather than by the router, switch, ... etc) It is generally negotiated between the two nodes on a network to be the largest size that both nodes can accomodate.
