@node MTU @subsection Maximum Transmission Unit MTU option tells what maximum transmission unit is expected to get from TUN/TAP interface. It is per-user configuration. Incoming packets of bigger sizes (including the padding byte) will be ignored. If either @ref{Noise, noise}, @ref{Encless, encryptionless mode} or @ref{CPR} are enabled, then all outgoing packets are filled up to that MTU value. Default MTU equals to 1515 bytes (1500 bytes of Ethernet payload, 15 bytes of Ethernet header).
