what does mru stand for, ....and what happens if I increase the number say to 1900 or so for both MRU MTU, what will happen? piet Ewan Leith wrote:
It is almost certainly by your ISP, they sometimes force everyone to use the same mru.

It means nothing really, ignore it.
MTU is the maximum transmission unit, basically how much data your modem will send in one go.
If you have broadband the number should be large (1500 or more), if you have a dial in modem a more normal number would be around 700.
For whatever reason, your PC or network hardware doesn't support an mtu of 1500. Unless you are having network problems or are downloading at a very slow rate then just forget about it.

I have a broadband cable connection... I just found out the MTU is set in /etc/ppp/peers/pppoe at MTU 1490 & MRU 1490. Should/ can I increase it, are these restrictions based on my nic or by my ISP or by Suse?? piet
