All calculators should still work, but you can't be sure.
We also don't update them anymore, so expect outdated info.

MTU tableMTU table
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) values assigned to given network type.
Some facts
- MTU is a maximum number of payload bytes in datagram.
- MTU determines maximum datagram size, which can be transmitted without fragmentation. Attempt to send more data than defined MTU number, causes division of the original message into smaller pieces. Size of each piece is less or equal to MTU.
- Greater MTU values allow to use bandwith more efficiently (less overhead), but causes network to be less resistant to transmit errors. This is why optimal MTU depends on environment and network conditions.
- MTU value range (min/max) is often defined by the protocol being used. For example: The typical Ethernet Frame payload valid size is 46 - 1500 bytes (octets).
