[Linux-cluster] Is nit worth setting up jumbo Ethernet frames on the cluster interconnect link?

[Jankowski, Chris]

Hi,

On a heavily used cluster with GFS2 is it worth setting up jumbo Ethernet frames on the cluster interconnect link?  Obviously, if only miniscule portion of the packets travelling through this link are larger than standard 1500 MTU then why to bother.

I am seeing significant traffic on the link up to 50,000 packets per second.

Thanks and regards,

Chris
