The Maximum Segment Size (MSS) refers to the largest segment of data that a transport layer protocol can send. When the MSS is 1,024 bytes, the total IP packet size can be larger because it includes the TCP header (usually 20 bytes) and the IP header (usually 20 bytes), resulting in a total of 1,064 bytes.
