#define MAXIMUM_MTU_SIZE   1492

The MTU size to use if RakPeer::SetMTUSize() is not called.

Remarks:

I think many people forget to call RakPeer::SetMTUSize() so I'm setting this to 1500 by default for efficiency.

• 17914 16 Mbit/Sec Token Ring
• 4464 4 Mbits/Sec Token Ring
• 4352 FDDI
• 1500. The largest Ethernet packet size recommended. This is the typical setting for non-PPPoE, non-VPN connections. The default value for NETGEAR routers, adapters and switches.
• 1492. The size PPPoE prefers.
• 1472. Maximum size to use for pinging. (Bigger packets are fragmented.)
• 1468. The size DHCP prefers.
• 1460. Usable by AOL if you don't have large email attachments, etc.
• 1430. The size VPN and PPTP prefer.
• 1400. Maximum size for AOL DSL.
• 576. Typical value to connect to dial-up ISPs. The largest value for an UDP datagram
