Even a single router may have multiple links of different MTU attached (for example. a LAN with 1500 bytes of MTU, a PPPoE based internet link with 1492, and an IPSec Tunnel to a remote site with 1400 bytes). Every device that is part of a given link (e.g. a VLAN on a Switch) should be configured for the same MTU (... for that link). If there is an MTU/packet size mismatch on a link, things can get quite nasty... | |
