Jumbo Frame
Ethernet has used the 1500 byte frame size since its
inception. Jumbo frames are network-layer PDUs that
have a size much larger than the typical 1500 byte
Ethernet Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size. Jumbo
frames extend Ethernet to 9000 bytes, making them
largeenoughtocarryan8KBapplicationdatagramplus
packet header overhead. If you intend to leave the local
area network at high speeds, the dynamics of TCP will
require you to use large frame sizes.
The EnGenius Layer 2 Switch supports a Jumbo Frame
size of up to 9216 bytes. Jumbo frames need to be
conguredtoworkontheingressandegressportof
each device along the end-to-end transmission path.
Furthermore, all devices in the network must also be
consistent on the maximum Jumbo Frame size, so it is
important to do a thorough investigation of all your
devices in the communication paths to validate their
settings.
