Alan, Personally I would only recommend using Jumbo frames when the Bridge/Router FULLY supports them and you are sure they are supported. In our case the HP routers are fine but we added a subnet using cheap switches for a sub project and it created all types of problems. The documentation on the switches said they did support Jumbo frames but in reality they started to cause network faults/timing dropouts etc. Replacing the switches with HP ones cured the problem as did removing JumboFrame support but we didn't want to simply remove JF's as throughput through the servers/network/switches is about 40% more when using JF's.
