I have a rack in a DC, I've always wanted to configure jumbo frames between the host and VMs. However I haven't because I am not sure of the recourse when serving traffic.
- kazen44 5y agoofcourse this would be possible (with just another router) but this would still result in inefficienties. IP Fragmentation is something which you do not want (it was removed from IPv6 for a good reason). TCP does not like it when IP packets get fragmented, as this usually results in lost PDU's when there is even the slightest of packet loss. Which causes TCP to resend the PDU.
