NetworkPath -> MaxPacketSize
Probe the network path with progressively larger UDP datagrams to determine the maximum transmission unit (MTU) without IP fragmentation.
Problem it solves
IP fragmentation degrades performance, so determining the actual path MTU dynamically is required to maximize packet size safety.
