RANs typically come pre-configured with an MTU of 1500. The packet core’s default UE MTU is 1440 bytes to allow for encapsulation overhead. These values maximize RAN interoperability, but risk that certain UEs will not observe the default MTU and will generate larger packets that require IPv4 fragmentation and that may be dropped by the network. If you are affected by this issue, it is strongly recommended to configure the RAN to use an MTU of 1560 or higher, which allows a sufficient overhead for the encapsulation and avoids fragmentation with a UE using a standard MTU of 1500.
