Re: [Moosefs-users] MooseFS and Jumbo Frames

[Robert S. <rsa...@ne...>]

Jumbo frames are more of a concern at a much lower level. There where 
you configure your switches, NIC's and/or OS.

 From what I have seen is that the master does a lot of small transfers 
which are significantly smaller than the normal frame size. So there is 
not much to be gained from using jumbo frames on the master. Larger 
transfers does happen between mfsmount and mfschunkserver and you may 
see some benefit there.

Daemons (like mfs) and other user-land applications generally don't know 
and don't care about the frame size.
