## Add network virtual appliances to the Gateway Load Balancer backend pool
551+
> [!NOTE]
552+
> If leveraging your own custom network virtual appliance in the backend pool of a Gateway Load Balancer, please ensure the MTU of all NVA virtual machines are raised to a minimum of 1550 bytes to accomodate for the VXLAN encapsulated headers. This will allow source packets up to the limit of 1500 byte packets in Azure, avoiding fragmentation.
