Modem adjustment engine(s) for modifying a maximum transmission unit based on network latency

A method comprising:

• determining, by a modem adjustment engine, a connection event between an endpoint and an access point within a network, wherein the access point facilitates data transmission and routing between the endpoint and the network;
• determining, by the modem adjustment engine, a current latency of the network for the endpoint;
• determining, by the modem adjustment engine, a current MTU of a modem associated with the endpoint;
• determining, by the modem adjustment engine, an adjusted MTU based on the current latency of the network and the current MTU;
• and
• adjusting, by the modem adjustment engine, the current MTU of the modem to the adjusted MTU.

A computer-readable storage medium comprising processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor-executable instructions, in part, to operate a modem adjustment engine that is in operable communication with a modem to connect an endpoint to a network, such to cause one or more processors to:

• determine, by the modem adjustment engine, a current MTU of the endpoint, wherein the MTU defines a largest packet size that can be transmitted without data fragmentation by the endpoint along a network path within the network;
• detect, by the modem adjustment engine, a connection change within the network that results in data fragmentation;
• determine, by the modem adjustment engine, an adjusted MTU for the endpoint based on the connection change;
• change, by the modem adjustment engine, the current MTU of the endpoint to the adjusted MTU;
• and
• reconnect, by the modem adjustment engine, the endpoint to the network at the adjusted MTU.
