Swift - thoughts on jumbo frames
IRC discussion on 12/1/2016
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
