We have a choice of FDDI or 100Mb ethernet. I'm thinking FDDI is better, and not too much more expensive for our side. Are there any negatives with FDDI? How does the 4000(?) Byte MTU affect things? All of our outgoing links, T1 and ether are all 1500. Does the work of fragmenting the packets down to 1500 amount to anything?
There is work on creating "jumbo" frames for GbE which would take away the 1500 "cell" limit.
All this talk about MTUs has got me wondering.
Why on earth are you paying attention to that thread?? --Kent
