I'm not very excited about things like jumbo frames, in part because
of the good work you did there to show hard they are to actually get
end-to-end, but all it takes these days is for one middle box in the
path to cripple, in any myriad of ways, an end host stack
optimization.
Jumbo frames can certainly be helpful within the IDC, for example
between front-end systems and back-end database and/or storage
systems; the IDC is also a more controlled and predictable
environment (or at least it should be, heh) than the aggregate of
multiple transit/access networks, and therefore in most cases one
ought to be able to ensure that jumbo frames are supported end-to-end
between the relevant IDC-hosted systems (or even between multiple
IDCs within the same SP network). This isn't the same as a true end-
to-end capability between any discrete set of nodes on the Internet,
but they can still indirectly increased performance for a
topologically diverse user population by virtue of more optimal
throughput 'behind the curtains', as it were.
