Abstract
In some examples, a maximum transmission unit (MTU) is installed by a Software-Defined Network (SDN) controller on a controlled network node for traffic along a datapath in an SDN. The installed MTU can, for example, be selected from MTU sizes in an MTU database for nodes along the datapath. For example, the installed MTU can be selected as the largest allowable MTU size based on the nodes of the datapath.
