@node MTU @section Maximum Transmission Unit MTU option tells what maximum transmission unit is expected to get from TAP interface. It is per-user configuration. If the program gets bigger size packet (including the padding byte), then it will ignore that packet. 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).
