When exchanging any information on a network, data transfer is carried out not in a continuous stream, but in small blocks, which largely determines the efficiency of network throughput. Such blocks have a fixed size, determined by the value of the Maximum Transmission Unit parameter , or MTU for short . This parameter determines the maximum data block size of a single packet, excluding headers, and is typically 1500 bytes . Continue reading “What is MTU and how to change its value”

The introduction of the Wi-Fi wireless standard in 1997 is widely recognized as a significant technological accomplishment of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. However, the idea of wireless communication is not a new concept. In reality, Wi-Fi utilizes the same radio communication technology that was discovered in the late 19th century, which is based on electromagnetic radiation. The primary distinction between Wi-Fi and traditional radio communication is the wavelength.
