Full form of MTU- a) Minimum Transfer Unit b) Minimum Transmission Unit c) Maximum Transmission Unit d) Maximum Transfer Unit

Your Answer

The Answer is (c) Maximum Transmission Unit,
Different physical networks have different maximum frame sizes. Within the different frames, there is a maximum size for the data field. This value is called the maximum transmission unit (MTU), or maximum packet size in TCP/IP terms.

If an IP datagram is to be sent out onto the network and the size of the datagram is bigger than the MTU, IP fragments the datagram into multiple fragments, so that it fits within the data fields of the frames. If the MTU is larger than the network can support, then the data is lost.
Thank You.
