Jumbo Frame
Ethernet has used the 1500 byte frame size since its
inception. Jumbo frames are network-layer PDUs that
have a size much larger than the typical 1500 byte
Ethernet Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size. Jumbo
framesextendEthernetto9000bytes,makingthem
large enough to carry an 8 KB application datagram plus
packet header overhead. If you intend to leave the local
area network at high speeds, the dynamics of TCP will
require you to use large frame sizes.
The EnGenius Layer 2 Switch supports a Jumbo Frame
sizeofupto9216bytes.Jumboframesneedtobe

each device along the end-to-end transmission path.
Furthermore, all devices in the network must also be
consistent on the maximum Jumbo Frame size, so it is
important to do a thorough investigation of all your
devices in the communication paths to validate their
settings.
