Which OSs don't yet support this ?
Not OS, drivers. Pick your favorite OS with GigE support, grep jumbo the drivers section. In a few cases the unix drivers support jumbo frames and the reference vendor drivers do not, in a couple its the other way around. I see its getting better though, there is more support then there used to be the last time I looked.
you'd be surprised how many vendors aren't even considering supporting jumbo frames, or worse don't understand why you'd want to. several vendors of optical gear (dwdm) i've run into lately weren't even going to do it and didn't know why they should. this only applies to vendors doing native GE, not vendors going true transparent optics. -b
