Hello !!
I'm trying to set the MTU value of a new PC -- dual boot, Linux & Windows -- and the lan card, the adsl modem, etc.
Since I'm not so bright, I went online to check. The more I check, however, the more I got confused.

On this page,
Which one is correct?
Just exactly how much do all the headers add on to a packet?
28 bytes or 40 bytes??
Let's say I've done the "MTU Ping Test" to various websites, and has obtained 1452 as _the_ optimum number. My question is this ---
What's the correct MTU setting?
Is it 1480 (1452 + 28) ? or Is it 1492 (1452 + 40) ?
In Windows, what numer should I set for the TCPWindowSize, the GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize, the TcpWindowSize and so on?
Is the MTU value the same for Linux, Solaris and Windows??
Please help !!
Thank you !
