Whether the headers are included or not is an implementation that can vary from box to another and from OS to another, so it should always be tested out specially when operating on a multivendor environment.
Path MTU is a very important aspect because it has a huge impact on the overall performance of the network and end user experience. The image below presents an analogy to clarify the path MTU concept. Default interface MTU values: source Wikipedia. Fragmentation is generally a bad thing; it increases network overhead, consumes routers resources and results in many unwanted side effects. There are some mechanism that are used solely to avoid these problems in the first place.
Path MTU discovery is a standardized mechanism that is used by end hosts to avoid fragmentation or packet drops. With the ethernet header added to this, we get a frame size of bytes.
To summarize: Your best bet for finding the correct MRU of your link, is to ping your host from a remote location making it the MTU of that remote location. If you don't have access to a remote host, search the web for online ping services and use those instead. Go to your web browser and type in your router's configuration IP address. Log in using your admin user name and password. Locate the MTU setting. Navigate through your router's configuration settings until you find the MTU field.
For each experiment, NDN packets are sent continuously for 10 min. MTU or Maximum Transmission Unit is a setting that basically tells your computer how much data to put in a packet to send over the network. Larger MTU size results in fewer, large packets hitting the network so its more efficient.
The largest data payload that can be transferred over this protocol is negotiated during the 3-way UDP handshake process , called MTU negotiation. The larger the MTU size is, the more data that can fit into fewer packets. This generally results in a faster and more efficient transmission of data across your network.
A larger MTU Maximum Transmission Unit brings greater efficiency in transmitting because each packet carries more data; however, a packet too large may be fragmented and results in lower transmitting speed instead.

This is a bit of a complicated Question, so I'll start with the basics. Forgive me if you know all this already. MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit, the largest packet of data that a computer interface will send. For Ethernet the default is Bytes. Ethernet frames typically are allowed to be up to depends on what you count and the extra space is 'reserved' for header information.
Various connections may have different capabilities. It's pretty common to run across a link on the Internet that has an MTU that's slightly smaller than Normally traffic that encounters such a link is simply broken into multiple pieces and sent along. If a packet for any reason couldn't be broken and forwarded, ICMP is used to communicate the problem back to the sending computer.
The sending computer takes appropriate action, breaking the information into smaller chunks and everyone is happy. This whole process is handled behind the scenes. In a properly functioning network it is never necessary to muck with MTU settings. The qualifier on that last sentence is the kicker. There are three common reasons the automated process breaks down:. It's almost universally 'easier' to handicap the connection with a tiny MTU than to fix one of the problems outlined above.
As stated above nobody should every have to mess with MTU these days the one exception I can think of being enabling Jumbo frames, but that's really not what we're discussing here.
The correct cure in any case is to figure out the underlying problem and fix that; classic case of treat the sickness not the symptom. How does MTU affect a connection? Chopping the data into tiny pieces means each piece will have a better chance of getting to the destination, especially across highly unreliable connections. Being smaller pieces however, there's more overhead per the data transmitted. This means the effective connection speed is decreased; substantially if the MTU is really small.
