@node MTU @subsection Maximum Transmission Unit MTU option tells what maximum transmission unit is expected to get from TAP interface. It is per-user configuration. Incoming packets of bigger sizes (including the padding byte) will be ignored. If either @ref{Noise, noise}, or @ref{CPR} are enabled, then all outgoing packets are filled up to that MTU value. Default MTU equals to 1514 bytes (1500 bytes of Ethernet payload, 14 bytes of Ethernet header).
