adopted by the IEEE it was implemented by a large number of hard-

ware vendors as a jumbo frame option.

3.3.2.4.1 Operation In the Alteon Networks proposal, which as

adopted as an option by several hardware vendors, the Ethernet Data

field is extended by a factor of 6, from a maximum of 1500 bytes to

9000 bytes. is extension can reduce the number of frames required

to move a file by a factor of 6, increasing application throughput while

decreasing host CPU utilization. Because the resources used by a

server to handle network traffic are proportional to the number of

frames transmitted and received, using larger frames improves perfor-

mance when compared to the use of smaller frames.
