Gigabit Ethernet Jumbo Frames, And why you should care Jumbo frames extends ethernet to 9000 bytes. Why 9000? First because Ethernet uses a 32 bit CRC that loses its effectiveness above about 12000 bytes. And secondly, 9000 was large enough to carry an 8 KB application datagram (e.g. NFS) plus packet header overhead. Is 9000 bytes enough? It's a lot better than 1500, but for pure performance reasons there is little reason to stop there. http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,2cv1,1,anjy,3ncj,2ezm,3q9m
