GS308EP Firmware Update

On GS108EP software you could configure transfer rate to any value. The GS308EP only allows you to start with 512kb and up mb. Is there any way to the get firmware update to GS308EP to allow any value or at least 128kb also? I notice the 128kb works best, studies have shown that using small packet size gives better network performance than using large packet size.

    Port rate limits. The switch accepts traffic on a port at the rate (the speed of the
    data transfer) that you set for incoming traffic on that port. The switch transmits traffic
    from a port at the rate that you set for outgoing traffic on that port. You can select
    each rate limit as a predefined data transfer threshold from 512 Kbps to 512 Mbps.

     

    This is about a data transfer rate, not the packet or frame size.
