Jumbo Frame
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload. By
increasing the payload size, a certain large amount of data can be transferred with
less interrupts generated, which reduces the CPU utilization and increases overall
data throughput. Intel® i350 GbE controller supports jumbo frame size of up to 9
Kbytes. When you connecting an Ethernet device with high date rate (e.x. a Gigabit
Ethernet camera), enabling jumbo frame feature is highly recommended.
After installing the driver for Intel® i350 GbE controller, you can change the jumbo
frame settings by following the steps listed below.
