- Virtual machines in Azure can support a larger MTU than the 1,500-byte default only for traffic that stays within the virtual network. A larger MTU isn't supported for scenarios outside of intra-virtual network VM-to-VM traffic. Traffic traversing through gateways, peering’s, or to the internet might not be supported. Configuration of a larger MTU can result in fragmentation and reduction in performance. For traffic utilizing these scenarios, utilize the default 1,500 byte MTU for testing to ensure that a larger MTU is supported across the entire network path.

- Virtual machines in Azure can support a larger MTU than the 1,500-byte default only for traffic that stays within the virtual network and directly peered virtual networks within the same region. Traffic traversing through gateways, global peerings, or to the internet is not supported. Configuration of a larger MTU can result in fragmentation and reduction in performance.

- Optimal MTU is operating system, network, and application specific. The maximal supported MTU might not be optimal for your use case.
