what size is the actual maximal sized jumbo packet we will ever see?
some transpac science community folk, who care more about speed trials
with big data sets than they do about over-stretching the ethernet crc,
use 9k jumbo frames.
well that's the standard but the highest I've seen mentioned as a normal
size is I think 9220 bytes.
i suggest being careful with the word "standard." ieee, which controls
the ethernet spec, has refused to standardize anything above 1500 on the
grounds that it would over-stretch the crc.
true, (I was surprised to not see 9k packets in the standard (though old)
that I have. (I guess now I'm in Cisco I could get to a newer one).
but practicality suggests that we spport what the customer is doing.
