What is MTU?
+ +MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit. It's the size of the largest PDU (protocol Data Unit) that can be sent in a single transaction.
What happens if you send a packet that is bigger than the MTU?
+ +With IPv4 protocol, router can fragment the PDU then sending all the fragmented PDU through the transaction. + +With IPv6 protocol, it issues a error to the user's computer.
