That's a much better statement.

I think you're thinking about this too hard, or maybe I wasn't explicit enough. 
Typing from a phone causes that. 


Yes, I'm staying if you are building the type of network where you have 
identified a large MTU is desirable on the L2 path, you want everything to be 
as high as possible, and you will be limited by the devices smallest MTU on the 
path.

no, it doesn't, only if you are building L2 networks bridged between multiple 
locations. It's perfectly fine to have a router-to-router OSPF /30 link that is 
carried across a PTP system with a 1600 byte MTU (older Bridgewave radios for 
instance), then another separate set of OSPF interfaces onwards from that same 
router, to another router, over a 9000 byte MTU radio bridge. Or whatever.

MTU needs to be consistent on the entirety of the path. 


AirFiber supports 9600 MTU since 1.1 FW.

I agree, was just looking for that a week ago too. 

I’m still unclear. 

My backbone is generally set for 9000+ MTU. 

Do I need to change my Mikrotik Ethernet ports attached to the Air Fiber units 
to a specific MTU?

oh yeah, and there is no mention of MTU capabilities for any model of airfiber 
in the most recent pdf datasheet either: 



https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/airfiber/airFiber_DS.pdf 



Is that not a basic datasheet thing to list? Particularly for PTP bridge 
radios? I know it is for every serious PTP radio I've seen from almost every 
other manufacturer.

Now, I know this, and everyone on the list knows this, because we've been using 
the AF24 for years. We know we can use it with either 1600 or 9000 byte MTU. 



But I find it amazing that there is no mention anywhere of max MTU (or MTU 
settings/capabilities in general) anywhere whatsoever in the ubnt AF24 users 
manual: 



https://dl.ubnt.com/guides/airfiber/airFiber_AF24_UG.pdf 



ctrl-f for "mtu"... nothing. 



People should not be required to google "af24 mtu 9000" and trawl through forum 
posts from non-ubnt-employee third parties on the ubnt forum to know if a PTP 
bridge product is going to work for a particular application or not. Same goes 
for the AF11FX and AF24HD.
