Link Configuration: General PPP Properties Configuration

Maximum Unit Settings

Description

The maximum unit settings are configured using two menu items:

zMaximum receive unit (MRU)—Defines the maximum number of bytes that can be received in a single packet.

zMaximum transmit unit (MTU)—Defines the maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted in a single packet.



Note: During LCP negotiations on a PPP link, AI296 will advertise the MRU configured by the user. If the peer negotiates its MRU with AI296, then the MTU on the AI296 side will be set to the peer’s MRU. If the peer does not negotiate its MRU, then the MTU on the AI296 side will be set to the value configured by the user.
