Ethernet frame header size of TAP device and apropriate MTU calculation
Hello, all! I have many questions about tap device architecture. What is a right way to calc mtu on TAP device to avoid fragmentation on real eth device? I suppose TAP MTU = 1500-8(UDP)-20(IP)-18(Ethernet) = 1454. So I'd set 1454 for tap device: "ip link set mtu 1454 dev eth0" I'm not shure about what is the exact size of ethernet frame header, which tap device use in switch
