Hi All,
I have an interesting issue with a remote site that is connected by a 24M Microwave link – recently we have had a lot of packet fragmentation, that has resulted in downloads that do complete, but fail MD5 checksum tests.
A client side workaround tweaking the MTU (Win7) to 900 has alleviated the issue.
I am told there is no routers on either side of the link – only switches.
Would having a router in the equation with a tweaked MTU fix this issue for all clients, without the need for a client side workaround?
Regards,

No. Lowering MTU on faulty circuits is not really effective.

Hi Paolo,
Thanks for your reply - the reality is the change has made a positive affect - I don't agree that this is a 'solution' however am interested in how/why this would help the initial problem.
Regards,
Glynn
