jumbo frames slow things down
Hi, I have a pc with NIC capable of doing Jumbo Frames (9K). It´s connected to a netgear GS108. The label of the GS108 says GS108GE and has serialnumb 21620C3H0025A. On the netgear site it says th...
Yep - installed last drivers which are from Jan ´11.
I tried the direct connection as indicated to exclude the switch and the results are the same. My writing speed to the NAS is roughly the same as with the switch in between and when switching on the Jumbo Frames on PC and NAS the speed drops enourmously.
By coincidence I discovered this only happens on LAN port 1. When I plug into LAN port 2 there is no drop in speed (but also not an increase).
When I have the direct cable connection in place should I be able to do a possive 7000 bytes non-fragmented packet ping to the NAS ?
