|
||||
packets that exceed the outer path MTU. This lets a larger inner Ethernet
|
||||
frame be split into multiple outer IPv6 fragments by the local host.
|
||||
|
||||
The device default MTU is 1500, but the module allows an overlay MTU up to
|
||||
9000. For example, with a 1500-byte underlay and a 9000-byte overlay:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo ip link set eip0 mtu 9000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
An inner 9000-byte payload is carried as a 9014-byte Ethernet frame, plus the
|
||||
2-byte EtherIP header and 40-byte outer IPv6 header. The local IPv6 stack
|
||||
fragments that outer packet before transmission, and the peer must reassemble
|
||||
the IPv6 fragments before EtherIP decapsulation.
|
||||
|
||||
You can still set a smaller tunnel MTU when you want to avoid IPv6 fragments:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
