How does the network layer use the MTU value?
|
|
The network layer depends on the higher level layers to determine the MTU.
|
|
|
The network layer depends on the data link layer to set the MTU, and adjusts the speed of transmission to accommodate it.
|
|
|
To increase speed of delivery, the network layer ignores the MTU.
|
|
|
The MTU is passed to the network layer by the data link layer.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -23. How does the network layer use the MTU value? A. The network layer depends on the data link layer to set the MTU, and adjusts the speed of transmission to accommodate it.
Detailed explanation-2: -The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest size frame or packet–in bytes or octets (eight-bit bytes)–that can be transmitted across a data link. It is most used in reference to packet size on an Ethernet network using the Internet Protocol (IP).
Detailed explanation-3: -The MTU, or ‘Maximum Transmission Unit’, is the largest block of data that can be handled at layer-3 of the OSI model. This is usually IP, so the MTU usually refers to the maximum size a packet can be.
