The changes are made in three major ways, listed in order of greatest effect:
- Use ifconfig to modify the mtu (maximum transmission unit) and the txqueuelen
- Use ip link to modify the mtu (maximum transmission unit) and the txqueuelen
parameter.
- Use sysctl to modify /proc parameters (essentially kernel tuning)
- Use setpci to modify the MMRBC field in PCI-X configuration space to increase

The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is

The maximum value for the MTU is 16114. Use the ip command to
increase the MTU size. For example:
ifconfig ethx mtu 9000 up
ip li set dev ethx mtu 9000
The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114. This value coincides
with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
