Hi,
Have any one tried using jumboframes and Vero4K+/OSMC? -How was the outcome?
My network (switches) and NAS are currently configured to 8K frames and im curious to let the Vero use that as well.

AFAIK there was a limit what is supported, @sam_nazarko might remember.
But in an LAN environment I hardly can see the advantage.
I tried using Jumbo frames with NFS. The file transfer speeds were marginally higher than with regular MTU of 1500. And - the interactivity was impacted a little too.
I did reset it to defaults, as that’s where it runs “better”
ok, thanks for your answers. I’ll try this and report back.
I’m limiting the frame size in the driver to avoid issues; so increasing the MTU shouldn’t give a noticeable difference.
In general, jumbo frames on low latency gigabit only helps with very specific use cases, and then only increases throughput by less than 5%. On faster media (10Gbit and higher), then you start to see 10% or so increase on even low latency connections, and even more of an increase on long-haul, high-latency connections.
If you have a lot (10 or more) of simultaneous active connections to your NAS and it has a single 1Gbit link, then having all devices using jumbo frames might help contention for that one link a little.
I have 10Gbit backbone that my servers are connected to, but all regular devices (PC, etc.) just use 1Gbit, and I use jumbo frames on the 10Gbit, but only on the VLAN that stays completely at that speed. Still, if @sam_nazarko wants to put 10Gbit in the next gen Vero, I’d be willing to test it.
