What's the correct way to turn up the MTU on a network interface? The default is 1500, so on a bonded gig interface, it does not really help the speed above a single gig interface. I did not see the flag in /etc/init.d/network , so is there somewhere else to set the default? I am still on Devil 1.2.15, unfortunately. Thanks, Brad Landis |
