Jumbo frames
September 8, 2009
Here are some short notes:
Switches can support both Jumbo and standard frames. So if your switch is configured for Jumbo frames, but your server is not, that should be OK.
However if your server NIC is configured for Jumbo frames, but your switch is not, that can create errors. After more research, I decided not to implement jumbo frames. From various online searches, you will probably gain less than 0.5% improvement. If our EQL shares continue to drop during the weekend backup, I will then configure jumbo frames.
