Jumbo frames
Become more important at higher
speeds:
Reduce interrupts to CPU and packets
to process, reduce cpu utilization
Similar effect to using multiple
streams (T. Hacker)
Jumbo can achieve >95%
utilization SNV to CHI or GVA
with 1 or multiple stream up to
Gbit/s
Factor 5 improvement over single
stream 1500B MTU throughput for
stock TCP (SNV-CHI(65ms) &
CHI-AMS(128ms))
Complementary approach to a new
stack
Deployment doubtful
Few sites have deployed
Not part of GE or 10GE standards
