You  should  start  at  1472  and  work  your  way  down  by  10  each  time.  Once  you  get  a  reply,  go  up  by  2  until  you  get  a 
fragmented  packet.  Take  that  value  and  add  28  to  th e  value  to  account  for  the  various  TCP/IP  headers. For  example, 
lets  say  that  1452  was  the  proper  value,  the  actual   MTU  size  would  be  1480,  which  is  the  optimum  for  t he  network 
we’re working with (1452+28=1480)....
