AWS directconnect documentation change
Summary
Updated terminology from 'AWS Direct Connect' to 'Direct Connect' and adjusted MTU documentation for transit virtual interfaces (changed 9001 to 8500 jumbo frames).
Security assessment
Changes are branding/terminology updates and MTU value corrections. No security vulnerabilities or mitigations are mentioned. The MTU discussion focuses on network performance considerations rather than security.

The MTU of a private virtual interface can be either 1500 or 9001 (jumbo frames). The MTU of a transit virtual interface can be either 1500 or 8500 (jumbo frames). You can specify the MTU when you create the interface or update it after you create it. Setting the MTU of a virtual interface to 8500 (jumbo frames) or 9001 (jumbo frames) can cause an update to the underlying physical connection if it wasn't updated to support jumbo frames. Updating the connection disrupts network connectivity for all virtual interfaces associated with the connection for up to 30 seconds. To check whether a connection or virtual interface supports jumbo frames, select it in the AWS Direct Connect console and find **Jumbo Frame Capable** on the **Summary** tab. +The maximum transmission unit (MTU) of a network connection is the size, in bytes, of the largest permissible packet that can be passed over the connection.
