![]() ![]() The NSA210 is a cheap NAS both from cost and hardware point of view and I'm surprised that this single-chip NAS has jumbo frame support. Yes there can't be any other reason than the weak cpu being helped by not having to process the same amount of packets. I hope for an update of DD-WRT with a jumbo capable driver. Maybe the reason is the small processor used in a NAS which needs more power interpreting the header than just receiving data. I already read that theoretically there not a big benefit, but accessing my Zyxel NSA210, jumbo frames simpy double the transfer rates (practically). I can explain why I'd like to have jumbo frames.

Super jumbo frames, 30K as example, would bring the theoretical max throughput up to almost 1000Mbps. The theoretical max throughput on a Gigabit lan with normal frame size (1500) is ~940Mbps and increases to ~990Mbps with 9K jumbo frames which is what most ethernet adapters are capable of handling. Jumbo frames are useful for squeezing out the last piece of bandwidth in a Gigabit lan but they have a very small impact on the overall throughput, around 5%. Many Gigabit Ethernet switches and NIC's support jumbo frames while Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) only support standard size frames. Jumbo frames seems to be the request of the month for some obscure reason. ![]() Looking for bricks and spare routers to expand my collection.

The switch driver dd-wrt uses currently doesn't support jumbo frames. ![]()
