Q: What's MX (Mail Exchanger)? And why MX?
A:The Internet email system for both machines and network connections are prone to error. With this, a chain of email hubs into the email architecture is built. If the "primary" mail host goes down, instead of queuing up the mails in the unreliable host on the Internet, they get sent to the "secondary" or "backup" mail exchanger for delivery, until the primary mail server becomes functional again. In technical terms, such service is called a Backup Mail Exchanger.
Q: What is PPPoE (PPP Over Ethernet)?

Q: What is MTU?
A:A maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest size packet or frame, specified in octets (eight-bit bytes), that can be sent in a packet- or frame-based network such as the Internet. The Internet's Transmission Control Protocol uses the MTU to determine the maximum size of each packet in any transmission. Too large an MTU size may mean retransmissions if the packet encounters a router that can't handle that large a packet. Too small an MTU size means more header overhead and more acknowledgements that have to be sent and handled. Most computer operating systems provide a default MTU value that is suitable for most users. In general, Internet users should follow the advice of their Internet service provider (ISP) about whether to change the default value and what to change it to.
