If you encounter any date flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
Fragmentation Threshold – By default, it is set to 2346. The value indicates how much of the network
resources devoted to recovering packet errors. The value should remain at its default setting of 2432
bytes. If you have decreased this value and experience high packet error rates, you can increase it again,
but will likely decrease overall network performance.

for "Long".
