When Should You Change the MTU?

The MTU size is considered to be one of the first steps in your troubleshooting you find that your Internet connection speed isn’t as fast as you would expect, or if you experience other performance-related issues.

Thankfully, this process is both quick and easy to perform; no additional hardware or software is needed. You can perform the testing and make the necessary changes with just a computer and your router.


The larger the MTU size is, the more data that can fit into fewer packets. This generally results in a faster and more efficient transmission of data across your network.


On the other hand, if an error occurs, the packet will take longer to re-transmit. Also, more data within fewer packets can result in the packets being bloated.


Larger packets are more likely to suffer from delays and even corruption. A greater MTU size can also increase latency, whereas setting it to a smaller number can help improve the overall latency.


Therefore, you should change the MTU size to be the maximum it can be without any detrimental effects. It may take a few tries to find the best size, but is worth the time investment to help optimize the performance of your network.

What Is Jumbo Frame?

Image
In computer networks, jumbo frames refer to Ethernet frames whose payload exceeds the limit of 1500 Bytes by the IEEE 802.3 standard, and are specifically designed for Gigabit Ethernet. Generally, the segment from 1500Byte to 9000Byte is called: jumbo frames, and then from 9000Byte to 64000Byte is called Super jumbo frames. Jumbo frames improve data transmission efficiency by sending a bigger frame of data instead of the standard one. The standard data frame has 1500 MTU size and the jumbo frame is typically set at 9000 MTU value size when enabled. Each manufacturer has different settings. For example, Ankmax UC31G2 USB 3.1 to 2.5GbE adapter has 4088Bytes, 9014Bytes, 16128Bytes and so on.Jumbo frame improves data transmission in two ways.  First each frames sent have “overheads” or information regarding those frame. By sending out a jumbo frame instead of standard, you end up sending out more data with the same amount of overhead. The second way is that by sending a bigger amount o...
