because at the higher data rates (eg 40 gige) it makes a huge difference in host usage. You can fit 6 times in the data in a 9K packet that you can in a 1500 byte packet, which means 1/6th the interrupts, DMA transfers, ACL checks, etc, etc, etc.

This is wrong. Interrupt moderation has been there for quite a while, DMA is chained and predictive. ACL checks I can agree on, but if you are optimizing the system, what do you need ACL´s for anyway because you can make the applications secure in the first place? Pete
