Jumbo frame MTU size in Duo v1?

Hi,

I'm trying to maximize the network speeds between 3 devices (PC, Duo_v1, Qnap NAS) connected to a Netgear GS108_v3 by matching the MTU size in their ethernet interface settings.

 

The MTU sizes supported by these devices are:

   GS108_ver 3: up to 9,720 bytes

   The PC: disabled (1500 i guess), 4088, 9014

   Qnap: 1500, 4074, 7418, and 9000 bytes

   Duo_ver1 running RAIDator 4.1.16:    ??

 

What MTU values are supported by the Duo if I enable Jumbo Frames on it?

 

Thanks.

Aloke

  • PS: Frontview on the Duo is showing

       Speed/Duplex mode: Auto-negotiated

       MTU:7936 bytes (greyed out).

       Jumbo Frames is enabled on the Duo.

     

    So, these numbers are all over the place.

    7936 (Duo),

    1500, 4088, 9014 (PC Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V),

    1500, 4074, 7418, and 9000 (Qnap)

    GS108 is autonegotiated.

     

    What value should I set these at?

      I'm getting transfer rate of 94.5 MB/s for large video files (.m2ts) on a 1 GB/s link.
      This is from the PC to the Qnap.

      That's pretty good!  Can I expect to do any better?

      I might just leave things alone....
