There is no IEEE standard for jumbo frames -- until there is one, many switch and router vendors aren't going to touch jumbo frames. AFAIK, the cheapest switch with jumbo support is a Dell. It's one of their more expensive switches, but it's much cheaper than something from Cisco et. al. Not all Dell switches support jumbo frames....if you want them, make sure they are listed as a feature. --eli > > So be warned. > > Peter > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --==_Exmh_-1740350304P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE/hZ05LTFEeF+CsrMRAuLyAKDej5WM3jmHvkLsSthAIgVgdniwJgCfZHig 8vEjSptSFcEZAHFdDmBjrfQ= =aDBQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-1740350304P--
