For completeness (since many previous posts have touched on this), we
don't use jumbo frames since we have no problem reaching wirespeed with
normal 1500 frames.
Seriously? What switches?
Mostly procurve, but really, 1G eth goes wirespeed almost regardless what you do to it nowadays. In fact, I can run wirespeed 10G eth through our cisco, procurve and bladnetworks without going jumbo.
I have HP Procurves too and I don't get wirespeed...
I'll run an artificial benchmark...maybe it's disk i/o in the way.
IMO lots of people waste time on jumbo frames when there's really no (or very little) need.
Maybe...
