I'm wondering, that since Jumbo Frames was supposed to be better for bulk transfers, why am I seeing these results? Is it the ElRepo drivers I used to enable higher MTUs or possibly some kind of oddity with the realtek NICs I am using? Or am I mistaken about the benefits of jumbo frames and that they are only beneficial in specific configurations, perhaps only with higher network speeds and enough packets at 1500 MTU to overwhelm packet handling hardware? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
I googled about Jumbo Frames ("jumbo frames impact") and 2 top hits are very interesting: http://sd.wareonearth.com/~phil/jumbo.html http://www.chelsio.com/jumbo_enet_frames.html
I guess if you are not happy with speed provided by Realtek you should definitely buy more expensive NIC's with support of 9000K packets.
