I spoke with HP today. Their Procurve series switches support a maximum of 1522 bytes to include 802.1Q tagging. They wouldn't discuss if they planned to join the rest of the world in supporting jumbo frames on GigE. --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc On Fri, 16 Jun 2000, Mikael Abrahamsson wrote:

What is the largest MTU that you can use across a GigE fabric?
Frmo Extreme Networks manual:
The jumbo_frame_mtu range is 1523 to 9216. The value describes the maximum size "on the wire," and includes 4 bytes of CRC plus another 4 bytes if 802.1Q tagging is being used.
I'd be surprised if other vendors are much different.
