102Configuration and Tuning GPFS for Digital Media Environments
The second network will be used as the GPFS cluster communication network,
and is a Gigabit ethernet. It uses the IP address range 10.10.100/24.
Jumbo frames
For our environment we have chosen not to use jumbo frames (which allow for
larger IP packets) as the normal Gigabit ethernet connection is sufficient.
In certain cases, jumbo frames can improve network performance. The Maximum
Transmission Unit (MTU) is the largest size of IP datagram which may be
transferred using a specific data link connection. As the normal Ethernet MTU
size 1500 bytes, with jumbo frames you can increase ...
