The MTU, or Maximum Transmission Unit, for Ethernet networks is typically set at 1,500 bytes.

It is important to note that the 1,500-byte limit does not include the Ethernet header.

The Ethernet header itself can be either 18 or 20 bytes in length, depending on the specific configuration.

Higher-level protocols, such as IP, must ensure that their data packets fit within the 1,500-byte MTU limit.
