well, actually, I haven't had any for, oh, 5 years. Anyhow, what I was getting at was what kind of price you pay performancewise for mtuX <--> mtuY? Isn't there some penalty you pay in the conversion of jumbo to normal?
Years ago I ran a network that was all fddi with 4k mtu in the core and to all the servers Everthing else ran ethernet and thus didn't get the advantage of the big packets.
