   My LAN is ethernet based. However, for connectivity to the internet, I have   
   an Edimax 3g-6200n router, which connects to the internet via a 3g mobile   
   broadband stick.   
      
   Can a 3g mobile broadband stick route the 1500 byte packets arriving from   
   the LAN without fragmentation, or should I reduce the size of the MTU for   
   outbound traffic? If so, what should I reduce it to? (My internet service   
   provider is Three Mobile, if that matters.)   
      
   My next question is ...   
      
   Will Linux allow me to configure two MTU sizes on a single network interface,   
   depending on whether or not the destination address is local or remote?   
      
   If I need to reduce the MTU for outbound traffic, can I keep using a 1500   
   byte MTU for LAN traffic?   
      
   (The computers have only one ethernet connection onto a single subnet. There   
   is a single ethernet based router (Netgear) before the Edimax unit, which   
   forwards internet bound traffic via the Edimax unit).   
      
   Mark.
