Re: Weird problem with Jumbo Frames on the 323 and Realtek based NIC...

The DGS1005 may or may not support jumbo frame - I've seen switches that didn't and also did not block communication with both endpoints configured for jumbo frame.

Over the weekend I was fiddling with jumbo frame between my IBM xSeries server and the DNS-323, knowing full well that the Netgear switch in between does not support jumbo (it's a FS728TS - 24 port 100 mbps ports & 4 gigabit ports) - throughput was slightly diminshed when the end points had jumbo frame enabled, but they were able to communicate at all times.

You could try connecting two systems directly to one another with a straight through cable and running oken's benchmark utility with & without jumbo frame enabled and then connect them through the switch and run the utility again - you should be able to tell quite accurately which level or performance the switch delivers.

Thanks fordem... Where can i find this benchmark utility?
