Abstract
When a network entity receives packets transmitted from a user equipment device (UE), the network entity will detect that a threshold number of those packets exceed the network entity's maximum transmission unit (MTU), and the network entity will responsively cause the UE to reduce the UE's MTU. In particular, the network entity will responsively transmit to the UE, within a header of a packet carrying bearer data to the UE, a directive for the UE to decrease the UE's MTU.
