Any downside to Jumbo Frames??
If my NIC cards and switch support Jumbo frames, is there any downside to setting my Ultra 2 plus to enable Jumbo Frames?? I may have access to my NAS by an iPad, laptop and maybe one PC that do no...
The gain is due to reducing the CPU load, not because the network itself runs more efficiently. Often NIC drivers have other ways to reduce the CPU load (though mileage certainly varies on how well those ways work).

In my case I am not seeing any real performance gain, so I leave them off. No point in worrying about fragmentation and packet loss over 100 mbit, wireless, and WAN connections, if I don't see any much gain anyway.
