  • Global File Cache (GFC)
  • CORE
  • EDGE
  • MTU Size

Answer

  • By adjusting the MTU size, you can potentially improve data transmission efficiency, throughput, and overall network responsiveness. 
  • If the MTU size is set too high and exceeds the limits of the underlying network infrastructure, fragmentation may occur. Fragmentation can impact network performance and increase the likelihood of packet loss.
  • Some network devices or applications may not support or handle non-standard MTU sizes. This can lead to connectivity issues or erratic behavior.
