MTU issue with some mobile operators #2284
Comments
Per RFC 2460, "IPv6 requires that every link in the internet have an MTU of 1280 octets or greater." Hence the reason for the lower limit. ZeroTier supports IPv6 networks and as such, cannot lower the MTU lower than 1280. |
So if the mobile operator is using IPv4, these operators are unusable ? Or might the packet loss be due to other reasons ? |
Packet loss could be due to other reasons, but I can't tell you what they are from where I sit. |
Issue is many mobile operators use private IPv4 networks with no IPv6 and then they nat outbound after many hops. |
Hello,
with some mobile operators, it seems that lowering the MTU to 1280 (the min allowed) still causes huge packet loss for inbound packets.
Lowering the MTU lower than 1280 is not allowed (if you do, zerotier central sets it to 1280).
No issue if the connection is made via cable.
Would it be possibile to allow lower MTUs ?
