<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><br></div>So I've been scratching my head for a long time trying to understand this, and it makes no sense to me. We have to discrete OU's. SCP transmissions of any real size tend to fail from A to B, but not from B to A. <br>
<br></div>My colleagues have been arguing that the fix is to set the MTU at side B to 1500. And Lo, and behold, when we do, it works, increase the MTU to 9000, and it fails again.<br><br><a href="http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14187/why-does-scp-hang-on-copying-files-larger-than-1405-bytes">http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14187/why-does-scp-hang-on-copying-files-larger-than-1405-bytes</a><br>
<br></div>What I have difficulty understanding, is if a jumbo frame carries, say, 9000 bytes, and hypothetically, if it's a 5,000 bytes file + your MTU = 1500, which means you split it up into 3 transmissions.<br><br>
</div>Same size transmission; capped packet size, more packets. So I would naturally conclude that at an MTU of 9000 it could get done in 1 what an MTU of 1500 would do in 3?<br><br></div>(scratches head)<br></div>
