Setting mtu in linux

Внутри будут находиться другие ветки с названиями 0000, 0001, 0002 и так далее. Необходимо пройтись по каждой и найти ключ DriverDesc со значением, похожим на название нашего сетевого адаптера и записать значение ключа NetCfgInstanceId, например:

Переходим в ветку HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces. Находим ветку с нашим идентификатором, который мы записали и меняем ключ MTU (при его отсутствии, создаем — тип DWORD):

Чтобы настройки применились выключаем и снова включаем сетевой интерфейс или перезагружаем компьютер.

Linux

Для примера, рассмотрим наиболее популярные дистрибутивы — CentOS и Ubuntu.

Разово

Разово (до перезагрузки) для данных двух систем настройку можно выполнить одной командой:

ip link set mtu 1400 dev eth0

* где 1400 — новое значение MTU; eth0 — сетевой интерфейс, для которого поменяли максимальный размер пакетов.

Постоянно (permanently)

Для систем на базе Debian (Ubuntu) и Red Hat (CentOS) процедура немного отличается.

Открываем настройку сетевых интерфейсов:

К нужному адаптеру добавляем строчку:

iface eth0 inet static
.
mtu 9000

systemctl restart networking

Открываем конфигурационный файл для соответствующего сетевого интерфейса:

Перезапускаем сетевую службу:

systemctl restart network

Роутер

Смена MTU на роутерах различных производителей выполняется, примерно, по одному и тому же принципу — зайти на веб-интерфейс для настройки маршрутизатора, найти раздел с настройкой сети Интернет, задать значение MTU.

Например, для большинства устройств TP-Link: Network — WAN:

Dear Friends in this tutorial we will how to set MTU size in Linux and we will also know what is MTU and why it MTU size is must for Linux? So, let’s start and see steps by steps this process.

What is MTU in Linux?

MTU stand for (Maximum Transmission Unit) it’s a size of largest protocol data unit that can communicated in single network layer transaction. MTU depends on underlying network capabilities and must be adjusted manually or automatically to not exceed these capabilities.

Why MTU size is must in Linux?

Large packets occupy a slow link for more time than a smaller packet, causing greater delays to subsequent packets, and increasing network delay and delay variation. For example, a 1500-byte packet, the largest allowed by Ethernet at the network layer, ties up a 14.4k modem for about one second.

How to set MTU size in Linux with ficonfig command?

We can set MTU using ifconfig command or ip command. If we don’t have ifconfig command and our Linux is base Operating System, then we can us ip command. Like below: –

First of we can check current MTU size with ifconfig commands.

[cloud-user@deploy-vm ~]$ sudo ifconfig -a docker0: flags=4099 mtu 1500 inet 172.17.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 172.17.255.255 ether 02:42:b8:9a:bd:62 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 eth0: flags=4163 mtu 1600 inet 10.10.10.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.10.10.255 inet6 fe80::f816:3eff:fea1:7bd9 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20 ether fa:16:3e:a1:7b:d9 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 2 bytes 456 (456.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 20 bytes 2308 (2.2 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 eth1: flags=4163 mtu 1600 inet 10.166.58.16 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.166.58.255 inet6 fe80::f816:3eff:fe96:cd52 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20 ether fa:16:3e:96:cd:52 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 633 bytes 48331 (47.1 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 568 bytes 59074 (57.6 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 lo: flags=73 mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10 loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback) RX packets 912 bytes 75951 (74.1 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 912 bytes 75951 (74.1 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 [cloud-user@deploy-vm ~]$

In above output you can see MTU size is 1600 on eth0 and eth1 interface. Now we need to set 1500 MTU on eth0 and eth1. So, we can use below commands.

[cloud-user@deploy-vm ~]$ sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500 [cloud-user@deploy-vm ~]$ sudo ifconfig eth1 mtu 1500

Now we can verify with ifconfig command our changes is completed or not?

You can see in above output we have successfully changed MTU size of eth0 and eth1 from 1600 to 1500 MTU.

How to set MTU with ip command?

If don’t have ifconfig tools, then we can use ip command to change MTU size like below.

First, we can verify current MTU size with IP command.

[cloud-user@deploy-vm ~]$ ip a 1: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether fa:16:3e:a1:7b:d9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.10.10.13/24 brd 10.10.10.255 scope global dynamic eth0 valid_lft 84910sec preferred_lft 84910sec inet6 fe80::f816:3eff:fea1:7bd9/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eth1: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether fa:16:3e:96:cd:52 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.166.58.16/24 brd 10.166.58.255 scope global dynamic eth1 valid_lft 84973sec preferred_lft 84973sec inet6 fe80::f816:3eff:fe96:cd52/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: docker0: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default link/ether 02:42:b8:9a:bd:62 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 172.17.0.1/16 brd 172.17.255.255 scope global docker0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever [cloud-user@deploy-vm ~]$

You can see in above output we have 1500 MTU in eth0 and eth1 interface.

Now I am going to change is from 1500 MTU to 1600 MTU with ip command like below: –

[cloud-user@deploy-vm ~]$ [cloud-user@deploy-vm ~]$ sudo ip link set mtu 1600 eth0 [cloud-user@deploy-vm ~]$ sudo ip link set mtu 1600 eth1 [cloud-user@deploy-vm ~]$

Now we can verify our MTU size is changed or not with ip a command like below: –

You can see in above output we have successfully changed MTU size with ip command.

Now verify the MTU packet size with ping commands.

[root@urcloud ~]# ping -M do -s 8980 10.167.30.3 PING 10.167.30.3 (10.167.30.3) 8980(9008) bytes of data. ping: local error: Message too long, mtu=9000 ping: local error: Message too long, mtu=9000 ping: local error: Message too long, mtu=9000 ^C --- 10.167.30.3 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 1999ms [root@urcloud ~]# ping -M do -s 8960 10.167.30.3 PING 10.167.30.3 (10.167.30.3) 8960(8988) bytes of data. 8968 bytes from 10.167.30.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.259 ms 8968 bytes from 10.167.30.3: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.269 ms 8968 bytes from 10.167.30.3: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.209 ms ^C --- 10.167.30.3 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2000ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.209/0.245/0.269/0.031 ms [root@urcloud ~]#

That’s all, in this tutorial we have seen how to set MTU in Linux.
