This switch provides more efficient throughput for large sequential data
◆
transfers by supporting jumbo frames on Gigabit Ethernet ports or
trunks up to 10240 bytes. Compared to standard Ethernet frames that
run only up to 1.5 KB, using jumbo frames significantly reduces the
per-packet overhead required to process protocol encapsulation fields.
To use jumbo frames, both the source and destination end nodes (such
◆
as a computer or server) must support this feature. Also, when the
connection is operating at full duplex, all switches in the network
between the two end nodes must be able to accept the extended frame
