We keep getting faster switchports, but the MTU is still 1500 MTU! I'm sure someone has done some testing with a 10/100 switch with jumbo frames enables versus a 10/100/1000 switch using regular 1500 MTU and compared the performance.....
1500 MTU made sense when network was 10 megabit/s.Now that we have gig and 10GE (and soon general availability of 100GE), I don't understand why 9000 makes people excited, if we're going to do a serious effort towards larger MTU, let's make it 150000 then (100x) or at least 64k.
6x size different isn't that much, and it's going to involve a lot of work to make it happen, so if we're going to do that work, do it properly.
