2. Maximum transmission unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit

   In computer networking, the maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the size of the largest protocol data unit (PDU) that can be communicated in a single network layer transaction. [ 1 ] : 25 The MTU relates to, but is not identical to the maximum frame size that can be transported on the data link layer , e.g., Ethernet frame .

3. Path MTU Discovery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_MTU_Discovery

   Path MTU Discovery (PMTUD) is a standardized technique in computer networking for determining the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size on the network path between two Internet Protocol (IP) hosts, usually with the goal of avoiding IP fragmentation. PMTUD was originally intended for routers in Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4). [1]

4. Maximum segment size - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_segment_size

   The maximum segment size (MSS) is a parameter of the Options field of the TCP header that specifies the largest amount of data, specified in bytes, that a computer or communications device can receive in a single TCP segment. It does not count the TCP header or the IP header (unlike, for example, the MTU for IP datagrams).

5. Protocol data unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_data_unit

   The SDU and metadata added by the lower layer can be larger than the maximum size of that layer's PDU (known as the maximum transmission unit; MTU). When this is the case, the PDU must be split into multiple payloads of a size suitable for transmission or processing by the lower layer; a process known as IP fragmentation .

6. Jumbo frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbo_frame

   802.5 Token Ring can support frames with a 4464-byte MTU, FDDI can transport 4352-byte, ATM 9180-byte and 802.11 can transport 7935-byte MTUs. The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard originally mandated support for 1500-byte MTU frames, 1518 byte total frame size (1522 byte with the optional IEEE 802.1Q VLAN/QoS tag). The IEEE 802.3as update ...

7. Jumbogram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbogram

   In packet-switched computer networks, a jumbogram (portmanteau of jumbo and datagram) is an internet-layer packet exceeding the standard maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the underlying network technology. In contrast, large packets for link-layer technologies are referred to as jumbo frames.

8. TCP window scale option - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_window_scale_option

   TCP window scale option is needed for efficient transfer of data when the bandwidth-delay product (BDP) is greater than 64 KB [1].For instance, if a T1 transmission line of 1.5 Mbit/s was used over a satellite link with a 513 millisecond round-trip time (RTT), the bandwidth-delay product is ,, =, bits or about 96,187 bytes.

9. List of computer size categories - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_size...

   This list of computer size categories attempts to list commonly used categories of computer by the physical size of the device and its chassis or case, in descending order of size. One generation's "supercomputer" is the next generation's "mainframe", and a "PDA" does not have the same set of functions as a "laptop", but the list still has ...
