    Ok... we are playing on words now :)

    For my setup, 1456 is the largest MTU I can set without having fragmented
    packets.

    Also, I started to notice decreased performance under 1400.

    According to what I've read, the optimal value is the largest MTU that
    doesn't cause packet fragmentation.
    So is it really a compromize?

    Cheers,
    C++. ;)
