I'm curious to know how many of you actually have relatively modern, non-esoteric, hardware that is a mixture of ethernet specifications and is using jumbo frames, and whether or not you've actually experienced any problems or not?
I have one managed HP switch with six boards of about 24 ports each; all banks are gigE. I turned on jumbo frames once my main router[0] got gigE NICs. It hasn't caused problems, but I don't remember if I ever bothered to benchmark it afterward. By now the all the managed hosts are gigE, too, though there are certainly some 100mbps hosts around -- if only the TP-Link 1043ND's that provide wifi... no wait, those are gigE too. I didn't bother to mention it before because it is such a boring setup, not much *can* go wrong. [0] I have separate LANs for managed hosts, user BYOD, and the test lab.
