Abstract
Facilitating flexible maximum transmission unit packet core design in a communications network is provided herein. A system can comprise a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can comprise receiving a transmission unit setting determined for a network device based on a geographic location of the network device. The transmission unit setting can indicate a size criterion of a network layer protocol data unit that is able to be communicated in a single network transaction by the network device. The operations can also comprise sending communication packets to the network device using the transmission unit setting.
