I have a bridge that has gigabit interfaces. The machine in question has the fun job of being a Bridge, Firewall and SMB server. Both of the Gigabit interfaces are connected to workstations directly via Xover cable (well MDI-X to be exact). My question is, if I enable jumbo frames on the gigabit interfaces will that make any difference in overall transfer rate of the bridge? I was thinking it might because even though the NIC is enslaved, it IS the device that the workstations communicate to. But also it might not because when applications talk to the network they're using BR(n) at 1500bytes.. can a bridging guru shed some light on this for me?
