It appeared to be really complicated to find relative information about sizes of transmission units in different levels of TCP/IP stack and completely impossible to find a united chart with their comparison. So, here it is.
| Layer | Protocol | Header Size | Recommended size with header included without protocol extensions, ensuring no segmentation on all underlying layers | Maximum size of transmission unit with protocol extensions |
| Transport | TCP | 20-60B | 1480 Bit | 1 GB |
| UDP | 8 B | 1480 Bit | 65535 B | |
| Network | IPv4 | 20 B – 60 B | 1500 Bit* | 65535 B |
| IPv6 | 40 B – infinite | 1500 Bit | 4 GB | |
| Data link | 10/100 Ethernet | 18 B | 1542 bit | 1542 bit |
| 1/10 GB Ethernet | 18 B | 1542 bit | 9000 bit** | |
| 10/100 GB Ethernet | 18 B | 1542 bit | 64000 bit*** | |
| 802.11 (WIFI) | 34 B | 2312 bit | 2312 bit |
* Fragmentation is widely used in IP protocols
** Jumbo frames are used on high-rate data link protocols, like Gigabit Ethernet or higher
*** is called Super jumbo frame. Not practically used and may not be profitable on a links lower than 10Gbit Ethernet
