   Encapsulating the original Ethernet frame into a UDP packet obviously increases the size of the IP packet. For this reason, the recommendation is to increase to a minimum of 1600 Bytes the overall MTU size for all the interfaces in the physical infrastructure that will carry the frame.

   But the minimum real is 1550, although VMware use 1600 as recommended if you want to encapsulate the packet through a tunnel.

      The question is recommended, not minimum. So 1600 it is.
