Beware of applications that are sensitive to fragmented packets. If you
start seeing application response time increase OR your users begin to
experience connectivity problems (especially if there are any PeopleSoft
applications on the network, which really don't like fragmented packets) to
app servers, sniff the segment on the Ethernet side and look for fragmented
packets AND the DF bit set.
Our solution was to reduce the MTU on the app server to something match
Ethernet's 1500 bytes MTU (I had to set mine to 1350, but I had GRE tunnels
and another weird fragmentation issue involved ).
