#### Azure and VM MTU

The default MTU for Azure VMs is 1,500 bytes. The Azure Virtual Network stack will attempt to fragment a packet at 1,400 bytes. But the Virtual Network stack will allow packets up to 2,006 bytes when the Don't Fragment bit is set in the IP header.

Note that the Virtual Network stack isn't inherently inefficient because it fragments packets at 1,400 bytes even though VMs have an MTU of 1,500. A large percentage of network packets are much smaller than 1,400 or 1,500 bytes.
