MTU in other standards

The G.hn standard, developed by ITU-T, provides a high-speed (up to 1 Gigabit/s) Local area network using existing home wiring (power lines, phone lines and coaxial cables). The G.hn Data Link Layer accepts data frames of up to 214 bytes (16384 bytes). In order to avoid the problem of long data frames taking up the medium for long periods of time, G.hn defines a procedure for segmentation that divides the data frame into smaller segments.
