A method for transmitting data packets and a corresponding converter are disclosed. The method includes: receiving a packet, which is sent by a source host using a Path Maximum Transmission Unit (PMTU) value supported by the source host as a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) value; sending an error information with a PMTU value of a translator to the source host if the PMTU value of the translator is smaller than the packet sent by the source host; receiving a packet, which is resent by the source host using a redetermined PMTU value as the MTU value, and sending the packet resent by the source host to a destination host; wherein the redetermined PMTU value is determined according to the PMTU value of the translator. The embodiments of the present invention ensure the maximum throughput of the network in the network transmission process, prevent packet loss, and improve the data transmission performance.
