When you are using a multicast program to send data of up
to 1472 bytes over Ethernet, you may observe fragmentation.
The
maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for Ethernet is 1500. The various parts of
a user data protocol (UDP) packet use the following bytes (totalling 1500
bytes):
- 20 bytes for the IP header.
- 8 bytes for the UDP header.
- 1472 bytes for data load.
You can expect that fragmentation will not occur when you send
up to 1472 bytes of data over Ethernet.
