Description: Jumbo frames are data packets that exceed the standard maximum transmission unit (MTU) size, which is typically 1500 bytes in Ethernet networks. These frames can reach sizes of up to 9000 bytes or more, allowing for the transmission of large volumes of data in a single operation. The main advantage of jumbo frames is the reduction of processing overhead on the network, as less header information is needed to transmit the same amount of data. This is particularly useful in environments where large data transfers are handled, such as in storage networks or high-performance computing applications. However, their use requires that all devices on the network, including switches and routers, be compatible with this type of frame, which can limit their implementation in some infrastructures. Jumbo frames are an effective solution for improving network efficiency and optimizing performance in situations where bandwidth and latency are critical.
