By default Windows 7 will compress data before sending it over a network. This may sound good, but in reality, it only increases CPU load, and in my case it actually slowed things down.

This data, or payload, contains the chunk of information that is actually being transferred. The payload is the whole reason for everything else. The payload is the biggest part of the Ethernet Frame. The Ethernet standard sets the MTU at bytes. It is a C yclic R edundancy C heck CRC that enables the recipient of the frame to check for missing or corrupted data. So, why are Jumbo Frames jumbo? They carry much larger payloads than normal Ethernet Frames.
Instead of carrying the usual byte maximum, Jumbo Frames can load up to bytes. These significantly larger frames can carry six times the amount of data as standard frames. In theory, you can reduce the number of packets being transferred on your network to one sixth of standard rates under ideal conditions. They can reduce your bandwidth usage. One of the primary purposes behind Jumbo Frames is to load more data into fewer Ethernet Frames.
By using fewer frames, you reduce the overall number of transactions on the network. This reduction can be dramatic. Quick access. Search related threads. Remove From My Forums. Answered by:.

I have several servers that could take advantage of jumbo frames but they reside on the same network as other servers and clients that do not have nics that support jumbo frames.
If I enable jumbo frames on the switches, can this cause any potential problems for these other servers and clients? Wednesday, January 11, PM.
