Forum Topic - MTU Size: (4 Items)
   
MTU Size  
Under Windows, with Intel NIC the Jumbo size that is available is 4096 and 9016, there isn't a way to set it to 9000, 
which is the maximum QNX allows.

Given that this is the exact same hardware on QNX and Windows, that e1000 is derived from Intel driver ( I was told ) 
how come the maximum under QNX is 9000?

Or anyone know a way to get Intel driver under Windows to use jumbo frame of 9000 bytes
Re: MTU Size  
This must be something to do with the stack, as the driver can handle larger
mtu sizes.

RE: MTU Size  

It's 9000 not including the ethernet header + crc.  Add those
and you get 9018.  Does windows include those?

Are you asking me a Windows question, hahahaha. I have no idea how the Windows driver use that value. All I know is that
 there is only 3 settings default/4096/9016 (not sure about the 4096, don't have access to that PC at the moment).

Our switch support 16K frame though, which are neither available in QNX and Windows.
