internet packets

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

In a DOS window we can use the command 'tracert' to trace the servers in the

internet route between our PC and the server of our choice (telnet.bbt.se

for instance). Now the transmission rate between the the two extremes (our

PC and eg. telnet.bbt.se) is limited by the weakest link, or the server in

the route that will accept/transmit the smallest packet size.

 

Is there a way to determine the maximum transmissable packet size on an

internet server, if all we know is its IP address?

 

Your servant,

Vraja Kumara das
