MTU and MSS Calculator

Every encapsulation byte counted, then the tunnel MTU and MSS clamp.
Stack options: presets, link layer, second tunnel, cipher
How to read the byte table

One row per field. The total sets the tunnel MTU.

What this page can and cannot tell you
What this page can and cannot tell you. The arithmetic is exact for the header layouts in the table, taken from the protocol specifications and source. It cannot see your network: a carrier tunnel underneath you, an MPLS core, a DSL encapsulation or a re-fragmenting middlebox each move the real ceiling, so measure the path MTU itself in the Measure your path tab. Where a component varies at run time, such as CBC padding, the table charges the worst case, so the tunnel MTU is safe rather than maximal.
