The Internet of Things—Physical and Link Layers Overview

Adaptation is needed to accommodate the different MTU sizes between IPv6 and IEEE 802.15.4. MTU is the size of the largest network layer protocol data unit that can be communicated in a single network transaction [5]. IPv6 has a packet size of 1280 bytes, while IEEE 802.15.4 allows for an MTU of only 127 bytes. 6LoWPAN introduces a fragmentation scheme to allow IPv6 to operate over an 802.15.4 network, using a 11-bit fragmentation header that allows for 2048 bytes packet size [6]. However, fragmentation can still lead to bad performance over a lossy network, so it is best to avoid big packet sizes.

Path MTU: In a network model, edge links have small MTU values, whereas links inside the network have large MTU values. For the link connecting the network edge to users, the MTU is usually set to 1,500 bytes by referring to the traditional Ethernet mechanism. For links inside the current IP WAN and data center network, the MTU can usually be set to a large value, for example, 9,000 bytes, which is also called jumbo frame length. Therefore, after SRv6 headers are encapsulated in user packets, it is unlikely that fragmentation or packet loss will occur due to Path Maximum Transmission Unit (PMTU) exceeding the limit.
Packet Forwarding in the Switch/Router
Published in James Aweya, Designing Switch/Routers, 2023
The Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) is the size (in bytes) of the largest protocol data unit that a protocol layer can pass onto another entity. Standard Ethernet frame (MTU) is 1500 bytes (Figure 6.33). This does not include the Ethernet header and trailer fields (which take up 18 bytes), meaning the total Ethernet frame size is actually 1518 bytes. Thus, the MTU size refers only to the Ethernet payload. The Ethernet frame size refers to the whole Ethernet frame, including the header and the trailer.
An Improved Handoff Algorithm for Seamless Connectivity in Heterogeneous Networks
Published in IETE Technical Review, 2023
Here, the eNodeB is an LTE (Long-Term Evolution) radio base station. Such nodes are mounted at mobile operators’ cell sites and can be viewed as tall antennas also known as cell towers. Bearers are the tunnels used in a mobile network that use the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) architecture to link user equipment to Packet Data Networks (PDNs) like the Internet. In practice, bearers are concatenated tunnels that connect the user equipment to the PDN through the Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW). A maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the biggest frame or packet size, defined in octets (eight-bit bytes) which could be communicated to a frame or packet-based network. The transmission control protocol (TCP) for the Internet uses the MTU to define the determined size of every packet in each transmission. These parameters are taken because they have helped us to create a more real-time environment and these parameters are important to be considered for designing a mobile communication network. The various results are discussed below.

The flow label is local to the respective packet transmission link and is changed with each packet forwarding while the payload length remains unchanged, unless that if the packet is forwarded between links having different header formats then the entire header may need to be replaced. In case of a frame or packet-based network like the internet, a maximum transmission unit (MTU) is used by the TCP in order decide the maximum packet size or frame size that can be sent across the network [19]. The Flexilink prototype implementation had an MTU of 1788 bytes (Figure 8).
