Can confirm there's still a large performance difference in classical network methods sockets) when you're trying to reach 10Gb. All the nice things implemented down there have an interesting effect if you're using lots of parralel streams and applications, but for those of us streaming lots of data in real-time, jumbo frames are still very much useful. I noticed a 10 to 20% cpu load difference between the two. I've even forgone IP fragmentation for these kinds of streams, application-level packet fragmentation/reassembly with an acceptable loss rate. Now we're moving to 100Gb and soon 400-800Gb and anything helps up there. I'm waiting for someone to standardise some way to reassemble jumbo frames into large 1MB+ 'application packets' using custom headers and reassembly algorithms directly in NICs (hopefully something standard like P4) before DMA-dispatching them to user memory.
