Wrong direction. > The reason for this change cited by many customers is that many ISPs have > 576 MTUs set "inside" their networks and packets get fragmented. Nope. > How prevelant is this fragmentation and how prevelant is this MTU in ISPs? It's not. Quite frankly, I like the 9127 used by Alteon switches and NICs within our network. > Why do ISPs set their MTUs to 576 instead of ~1500 or even ~4K? We don't. In fact, we like the MTUs as high as possible, hence the choice of Alteon, with jumbo frames. > thanks in advance for your responses, > peter You're welcome!
