Too bad ciscos 3GE card only supports 2450 MTU. The 1GE supports 9180 and the PA-GE supports 4470. Oh joy, pick a standard, glad there are so many to choose from.
For those non-oldtimers: 4470 == FDDI MTU 9180 == ATM AAL5 IP MTU (RFC-1626) Off hand, 2450 sounds like someone forgot to put enough RAM on the card when doing the board design and that is what they could actually support when the board appeared. Sigh.
It seems more newer L2 GE-switch manufacutrers support jumbo (real jumbo, up to at least 8192, most of them even higher) than the older router manufacturers (or is it just cisco?).
Mostly cisco has had trouble getting with the Jumbo MTU program, though occasionally they do something reasonable. Most non-cisco GigE products are engineered to support the 9180 IP MTU (RFC-1626). Ran rja@inet.org
