Re: MTU Settings behind router and modem
And before you start jabbering again, of course you have to remember that the MSS is going to be 40 less than the MTU due to the ethernet and other headers that get added to the data.
1450 is going to produce 1490 on MTU and 1470 is actually going to produce 1510. This is why you see the discrepency. Nothing will fragment until 1493. |

Charlotte, NC | OK, so I am going to set all my computers and my router to 1492, that way when it hits the DSL modem everything is the right size from the start. |
