What is the jumbo frame supported by switches and adapters?
• Ethernet traffic moves in units called frames. The maximum size of frames is called the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU). When a network device gets a frame larger than its MTU, the data is fragmented (broken into smaller frames) or dropped. Historically, Ethernet has a maximum frame size of 1500 bytes, so most devices use 1500 as their default MTU. An Ethernet packet larger than 1500 bytes is called a Jumbo Frame. In NETGEAR products, this feature is disabled by default. >>more information • What are Benefits of a Wireless Network? • Wireless LANs offer the following productivity, convenience, and cost advantages over wired networks: • Mobility: Wireless LAN systems can provide LAN users with access to real-time information anywhere in their organization. This mobility supports productivity and service opportunities not possible with wired networks. • There are now thousands of universities, hotels and public places with public wireless connection. These free you from having to be at
