Description
Hi,
Are there any plans to limit the MTU for UDP Bandwidth tests? Running some tests over a failover connection that uses a VPN, when switching to the VPN the UDP results are erratic/non existent. TCP is fine, but the traffic we have is UDP.
We normally restrict the MTU to 1432 when testing over a VPN.
Cheers

Research direction
Start by locating the UDP bandwidth test entry point in the Ethr repository and tracing how packet size is chosen. Determine whether the tool exposes any existing MTU or packet-size configuration. Done means defining and validating a way to limit UDP test MTU, including behavior around the reported 1432-byte VPN limit.
