The minus 28 is for the header information (IP and ICMP). If this packet size gives fragmentation errors, decrease the value until the packet is echoed without fragmentation. An MTU of 1500 (ping 1472) is the windows default value. The -f parameter sets the Don't Fragment Flag in the IP header, and -w ensures that ping waits for a reasonable amount of time for the echo packet to return.

Short for Maximum Transmission Unit- the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes that a network can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent. Ethernet limits transfers of up to 1514 (include Ethernet header) octets of data. Normally, you should leave this value as the default value. Change it only if the ISP is providing a MTU that is not optimal. See similar questions...

The MTU setting controls the maximum ethernet packet size your PC will send. Why a limit? because although larger packets can be constructed and sent, Your ISP and Internet backbone routers and equipment will fragment any larger than their limit, then these parts are re-assembled by the target equipment before reading. This fragmentation, and re-assembly is not optimal. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/695 See similar questions...
