After years in enterprise storage with endless performance testing: there's almost no point. Modern CPUs and NICs barely benefit. In 2005 when we had dual-core CPUs that were constantly buried and NICs with 0 offload, it made a ton of sense - heck we had dedicated iSCSI HBAs (QLA4010 represent!).
That being said, if you've got three servers and two VLANs with no worries about the jumbos ever escaping: I guess? But if you see even a 5% performance increase, I'll be shocked. On the flip side you're one misconfiguration away from endless troubleshooting if those jumbos escape.
Also *jumbo frames.
- ggm 3y agoThat's great feedback. If it doesn't help, don't do it.
