Hi,

I have a question about RDMA. 

I work with Intel NetEffect NE020 cards and Extreme Summit x650 switch. 
I installed cards on two PCs IBM x3455 type 7986 | Dual-Core AMD Opteron
Processor 2214 2200MHz with Scientific Linux SL release
5.4|2.6.18-164.2.1.el5.
Driver is iw_nes and 10Gb Ethernet is eth2.
I run latency and bandwidth test with MTU=1500 Bytes.

Does MTU value affect the performance? 
If I change MTU value, why code does not work? 
(command line: ifconfig eth2 mtu 9000)
Is it possible to use jumbo frames MTU = 9000 Bytes at 10 Gb Ethernet?

I'm bit confuse about the role playes by MTU parameter.

Thank you in advance for clarification.

Regards,
Andrea
