If I'm not mistaken, 9000bytes is the max.
From acenic.c (By D.Becker of course)
* To enable jumbo frames, simply specify an mtu between 1500 and 9000 * bytes to ifconfig. Jumbo frames can be enabled or disabled at any time * by running `ifconfig eth<X> mtu <MTU>' with <X> being the Ethernet * interface number and <MTU> being the MTU value. --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc On 16 Jun 2000 michael.dillon@gtsip.net wrote:
