While the standard MTU size (and default value) is 1500, you can select a
larger value if your iSCSI network can handle a larger frame size to see
whether it improves performance. Note, however, that selecting a higher
MTU value (known in the industry as "jumbo frames") requires all network
equipment involved, such as switches, to be capable of and configured to
handle an MTU of at least 4088 or 9000, depending on your selection. Note
that the selection of 9000 is only available with xStack Storage systems that
have four or fewer data ports.
