Hi,

Is there a list of recommended gigabit switches that are known to work well with jumbo frames & AOE, or a list of switches known not to work well? Netgear and Dlink GE switches are cheaper than HP and Cisco equivalents - is there a difference? What are the technical aspects of a switch that I should be comparing for use with AOE?

It's worth noting that the Procurve 2800 series and lower don't support jumbo frames and flow control enabled at the same time, which is nice to have... We have definitely had problems with AoE on Procurve 2848 under high load conditions as these switches quickly run out of buffers with high packet rates and jumbo frames.

We've had great success with Procurve 5406zl switches though...
