Which standard are you referring to? AFAIK, nothing above 1500 is standardised
I've had two different kinds of customer requests for jumbo frames - customers that want very large frames for performance reasons; Many ethernet switches support 9000 or more, some don't, and some technologies like ATM support ~4470. Sometimes the ability to provide them depends on tunnel modes. - customers that want frames that are at least ~1700-1800 bytes so that a few layers of IPSEC or VLAN headers or whatever won't break the 1500-byte packets inside them. -- ---- Thanks; Bill Note that this isn't my regular email account - It's still experimental so far. And Google probably logs and indexes everything you send it.
