Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] finding MTU size from ethereal...

[Alfredo Montesinos <montesinos@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi..

I am new to ethereal.

I have gathered enough data from my ppp0 device but I cannot tell what 
is the ideal MTU size for my hardware based modem based on these frame 
readings. Can someone shed some light into this?

I use Linux and pppd to connect. Basically, i want to maximize my modem 
MTU settings. I use a 56k modem. :-/

Is the MTU size determined from my ISP provider? Any input would be 
greatly appreciated.

Alfredo
