Jumbo means lots of reassembly on the most common end-link, Wi-fi (which cannot support larger datagrams without huge drop rates due to the error prone nature of the medium). Uncorrectable errors are pretty rare on wired links but regardless, as a general rule the higher the MTU the higher the ratio of bits that need to be retransmitted.
- ggm 8y agoI don't have anything here. I sort of wonder if we misunderstand the problem and combine wifi noise/size with 4G noise/size issues. There are times I think bursty RF signals with big packets might be better than pessimal small packets in chains. At one level, the quoted 5Ghz wifi speeds have to be taken with a pinch of salt, if what you say is true.
