That would be a big job, as much equipment doesn't support jumbo

As long as there are routers between networks, that's not a big problem, but all devices on a network have to be able to support it. I do know many of the research networks support jumbo frames. Perhaps more importantly - consumer level network interfaces.
Yep, NICs, switches and routers. Also, I don't think we'll ever see full 9000 byte frames on WiFi, as it maxes out around 1800, IIRC. BTW, back in the late '90s, when I worked at IBM, I set my MTU to about 4K, IIRC, on the token ring network. Of course the other end might be set lower. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
