The Enhance vmxnet adapter under VMWare 3.5 supports jumbo frames. After much reading I know that jumbo frames must be supported end to end in order to give any benefit. This means jumbo frames must be supported for:
vNICs
Physical NICs
ESX servers
Physical switches
Storage
I am good to go on all of this except Jumbo Frames are not supported yet for the iSCSI initiator and for NFS. Does anybody know if this going to change?
Yes it is. I assume there was more to this post ![]()
Yes, my fat fingers posted this before I finished it, the post is now complete
Take a look at this.

Yes, I have seen this article by Scott Lowe. The question is when is VMWare going to officially support Jumbo Frames for iSCSI and NFS?
