| Summary | Differences in how different Intel NICs handle maximum packet length for jumbo frame |

10 Gigabit Ethernet devices from Intel do not take VLAN tags into account when calculating packet size while Gigabit Ethernet devices do so for jumbo frames. Implication: When receiving packets with VLAN tags, the actual maximum size of useful payload that Intel Gigabit Ethernet devices are able to receive is 4 bytes (or 8 bytes in the case of packets with extended VLAN tags) less than that of Intel 10 Gigabit Ethernet devices. Resolution/Workaround: Increase the configured maximum packet size when using Intel Gigabit Ethernet devices. Affected Environment/Platform: All. Driver/Module: Poll Mode Driver (PMD).
