13.1 Introduction to Jumbo
So far the Jumbo (Jumbo Frame) has not reach a determined standard in the industry (including the format
and length of t he frame). Normally frames sized within 1519-9000 should be considered jumbo frame.
Networks with jumbo frames will increase the speed of the whole net work by 2% to 5%. Technically the Jumbo
is just a lengthened frame sent and received by the switch. However considering the length of Jumbo frames,
they will not be sent to CP U. We discarded the Jumbo frames sent to CP U in the packet rec eiving process.
