The Xilinx 10/100 Ethernet drivers have jumbo frame support in MontaVista/WindRiver Linux. As long as both ends are talking jumbo frames, works just fine. -Rick -----Original Message----- From: linuxppc-embedded-bounces+moleres=3Dxilinx.com@ozlabs.org [mailto:linuxppc-embedded-bounces+moleres=3Dxilinx.com@ozlabs.org] On Behalf Of Darcy Watkins Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 2:48 PM To: LinuxPPC-Embedded Subject: Ethernet Jumbo Frames Has anyone on this list ever been given a requirement to implement support for ethernet frames larger than the standard MTU of 1500? ... ... for normal 10/100 Ethernet? ... not gigabit. The application is to support certain encapsulation protocols without imposing smaller than 1500 byte MTU restrictions on the innermost protocol. I have been tasked to investigate this for a system based on PPC405EP. Can it be done using the IBM EMAC, Linux drivers, etc?
