Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU):

Wait ! Stop right there !

Oops - too late - there are already more emails in this thread :-(

MTU is the maximum size of an individual packet - it has no (direct) relationship to the TCP window.

There are subtle interactions between them - but they really are second- or third-order effects. It's best to treat them as though they were completely independent. So I'll leave this as the only thing to say about MTU and give a separate answer about TCP's windowing strategy.
