Maximum transmission
unit. This term 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.
