Is there a registry entry to set default MTU size of TCP on the unit? Could
not find it in docs. There is EnablePMTUDiscovery but I want to set it to
desired value rather then get it of the network.

MTU : REG_DWORD Default setting is 0xFFFFFFFF (hexadecimal). The
valid range for this value is 68 - the MTU of the underlying network. This
parameter overrides the default Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for a
network interface. The MTU is the maximum packet size in bytes that the
transport will transmit over the underlying network. The size includes the
transport header.
An IP datagram may span multiple packets. Values larger than the
default for the underlying network will result in the transport using the
network default MTU. Values smaller than 68 will result in the transport
using an MTU of 68. For more information, see Maximum Transmission Unit
(MTU).
