RE: RINA - scott whaps at the nanog hornets nest :-)

Completely agree with you on that point. I'd love to see Equinix, AMSIX, LINX, DECIX, and the rest of the large exchange points put out statements indicating their ability to transparently support jumbo frames through their fabrics, or at least indicate a roadmap and a timeline to when they think they'll be able to support jumbo frames throughout the switch fabrics.

Yes, in moving from SONET to Ethernet exchange points, we have actually reduced the potential performance of applications across the network for no good reason, in many cases.
