| MTU, or ‘Maximum Transmission Unit | The MSS is usually the MTU - 40 bytes for the TCP/IP header. The MSS is 1460 bytes (1500 byte MTU of the IP packet, or 1514 for ETH packet size). The MTU is the largest block of data that can be handled at layer-3 of the OSI model ( IP packet ) | |

I think it's Ethernet packet ( not frame , frame will include the preamble and FCS) | ||
