You said that before.

MTU matters on a physical link. Once there's another hop, it's all irrelevant, intermediate systems repackage the data.

There's rarely a need for anyone to fiddle with MTU, 1500 works on ethernet end of story.

On ADSL, modern setup software gets it right (it's a little less than 1500), and on mainframes (not using ethernet) one might be using around 32k. Whatever my mainframe is using, my PC talking to it and using another physical link still uses 1500 (or a little less over ADSL).

Even if MTU can cause a problem (which I doubt), it would do so from the nearby machine (which maybe is on the same switch), not the remote one.
