Gunethical Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 What is the correlation or difference between MTU size and buffer size (transmit and recieve in windows 10)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Buffer size is the amount of data that can be buffered. MTU size is the maximum size of the ethernet frames send. So the lower the MTU, the more packets fit inside your buffer. But these packets will be fragmented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would lowering or raising either of these help mitigate packet burst issues? I suspect packet reordering is my main issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Not really as this mostly happens on inbound packets. Sending buffer is for outgoing packets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
