Jumbo Packet

The Jumbo Packet feature allows you to specify the size of the Ethernet
frame that the adapter supports. The network performance usually
improves when the larger frame size is specified; however, the network
must be capable of supporting the oversized Ethernet frames.

To change the Jumbo Packet setting, do the following:

1. Access the Advanced Properties.

See “Accessing Advanced Properties” on page 47.

2. Select Jumbo Packet in the Property box.

The Jumbo Packet page is displayed as shown in Figure 31.
