Lets add a reference for how to setup the host

RealSense Ethernet cameras, such as D555, allow users to set the desired packet size, giving users maximum flexibility in their setup.
Ideally, expected packet size on host should match packet size sent from the camera. In this guide we will show how to set it.

MTU stands for Maximum Transfer Unit, we may use this to indicate packet size.

Lets add a note about RealSense default recommended MTU for working with D555 (9000)
