MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit is similar to MRU, except instead of setting receive packet size, it sets the maximum size of transmitted packets. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent. It is 576 for PPP protocol and 1500 for Ethernet. You can use TweakDUN to adjust it in windows. The optimimum value is the largest that does not require further splitting for any hop of the packet journey.
