Jumbo Frames
The use of Jumbo Frames on the Gigabit Ethernet network can enhance performance.
Enlarging the packet size, or maximum transfer unit (MTU), from 1,500 bytes to 9,000
bytes reduces the overhead in the processing of the data over the Ethernet. Fewer
packets are processed, and the CPU load is decreased. Additionally, tape drives
perform better when they are kept fed (streaming) with data. To enable Jumbo Frames,
increase the MTU on the filers, Gigabit Ethernet switch, and the backup host’s Ethernet
adapter. The Ethernet interface on the NAStape will automatically negotiate for the
MTU size.
