Some 8168B go up to 6k.
In cases like this where there are conflicting sources of information regarding the max MTU of a NIC, what would be the correct way to determine the actual max MTU? I figured the 7K limit basically by doing a binary search with the ifconfig mtu commands. But is the this figure simply what the driver will accept for the controller it identified or is that the actual hardware limit? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
