| 15:21:17 pdardeau | this is probably a dumb question, is use of jumbo frames the norm │ _JZ_ | |
| | for swift deployments? │ a1|away | |
| 15:24:17 +notmyname | pdardeau: I've heard that question before. let me ask around │ abalfour | |
| 15:26:08 pdardeau | notmyname: thanks! │ AbyssOne | |
| 15:26:11 +notmyname | pdardeau: ok, I got an answer from some our support people :-) │ acorwin_ | |
| 15:27:49 +notmyname | short answer: good technical idea, generally bad operationally │ admin6 | |
| 15:28:43 +notmyname | so it's probably not worth it │ agarner | |
| 15:29:15 pdardeau | notmyname: thanks! i've heard similar things in the past, but │ ahale | |
| | wanted to see if that's still the case │ aj701_ | |
| 15:30:11 +notmyname | operationally it's not great because it requires the whole │ alpha_ori | |
| | networking infrastructure to be set up with it. and, to quote our │ amit213 | |
| | support person, "they complain swift isn't working and we ask if │ amoralej|off | |
| | the MTUs are the same everywhere and then two weeks later it's 'oh │ andymccr | |
| | yeah, someone changed a switch config' or something" │ AndyWojo | |
| 15:30:32 <-- | siva_krish ([email protected]) has quit (Quit: Leaving.) │ Anticimex | |
| 15:31:09 +notmyname | so unless you've got decent controls over that sort of thing and │ balajir | |
| | are tuning for a specific workload, it's not worth the operational │ bapalm | |
| | overhead │ bkeller` | |
| 15:33:16 ahale | yeah, im pretty sure when i was with rackspace we didn't do any of │ bkopilov | |
| | that sort of thing as it was too much hassle |
