Jumbo Frames
If you want to send big packages you need to put it in a big box and everyone needs to be aware of how big it is. So you need to configure jumbo frames from end to end. Also, putting small items into big boxes is a waste of resources, so jumbo frames should only be configured for larger file transferes.
