A Maximum Transmission
Unit is a configurable parameter that determines the largest packet than can be transmitted
by an IP interface (without the packet needing to be broken down into smaller units).
Note
Packets that are larger than the configured MTU size are dropped at the ingress port. Or, if configured to do so, the system can fragment the IPv4 packets and reassemble them at the receiving end.
