Network Learning Series: Understanding Ethernet MTU, IP MTU and MSS

This video covers the concepts around Ethernet MTU , IP MTU and TCP MSS. Ever struggled to understand what a maximum transmission unit or a TCP MSS is? Never really understood why you would change these values? Hopefully this video is here to help!
Topics covered include:
- Ethernet MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
- IP MTU (Maximum Tranmission Unit)
- Fragmentation
- TCP MSS (Maximum Segment Size)
- TCP MSS Adjust
- MTU Path Discovery with ICMP
- How you would change the IP MTU or MSS for tunneling technologies like GRE.
