Reply To: Jumbo Frames Hi all, Been looking into the speed of my network a little and I came across people suggesting to enable Jumbo frames on the switch and on devices. Now, is…

Jumbo Frames in iSCSi network is very useful and can increase Ethernet LAN Network efficiency by up to 20%

Jumbo frames is not supported on Wireless as wifi only supports MTU of 2304 bytes.

The easiest (cheapest)  way to test a LAN for Jumbo Frames support is via ping command with a stated payload packet size. (see below)

Regarding Using Jumbo Frames, if a device does not support Jumbo Frames (TV) , then the packet usually will be Fragmented adding addition load to NIC or Switch etc.

But this is a little more blurred, as such devices, may not work as well, at all, alas trial and error will be required.

In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
