-There are many factors that can affect realized bandwidth through a Site-to-Site VPN connection, including but not limited to: packet size, traffic mix (TCP/UDP), shaping or throttling policies on intermediate networks, internet weather, and specific application requirements. For VPC attachments, AWS Direct Connect gateways, or peered transit gateway attachments, we will attempt to provide additional bandwidth beyond the default value.

-  * The MTU of a network connection is the size, in bytes, of the largest permissible packet that can be passed over the connection. The larger the MTU of a connection, the more data that can be passed in a single packet. A transit gateway supports an MTU of 8500 bytes for traffic between VPCs, AWS Direct Connect, Transit Gateway Connect, and peering attachments (intra-Region, inter-Region, and Cloud WAN peering attachments). Traffic over VPN connections can have an MTU of 1500 bytes.
