Jumbo Frames, when will iSCSI and NFS be supported?

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