I know, I know, how about https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc879 instead.

 

 

You're right, there is no standard, MTU is a maximum; by definition, it can be reduced. To quite a low figure depending on the Ethernet speed/type it seems (every day is a school day).

 

 

The rest, we'll have to agree to disagree.
