Re: Ethernet Max Frame Size

I can't answer you question on "work best",
but I can say that a month ago we changed our max frame size from
1496 to 5984.
We did it for the same reasons you spoke of, we have nightly batch processes that FTP lots of data across a dark fibre connection (over
20GB connection).
We haven't noticed any determent in the daily processes, and only decreased the time of our nightly process by no more than 10%.

Our ethernet definitions still have the 1496 max frame size.
1Gb ethernets(2), v6r1 (but not fiber)
Would like to change to 8996 , but network side concerned the higher frame side
will affect
app performance with many .net apps accessing our db2.
We have heavy interactive use in day, and big data export nightly (which is why
the

idea to increase frame size).
Any thoughts on what would work best.
