Abstract
In some examples, a method includes determining, with a Software-Defined Network (SDN) controller of an SDN, a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) value for switches along a routing path for a data flow based on packet overhead for the data flow and transmitting MTU installation instructions to the switches along the routing path to install the determined MTU value on the switches of the routing path.
