9k Jumbo frames in lan with a few 100mbit devices?
I upgraded a small client's network to gigabit with a NETGEAR GS716T SMART SWITCH (supports 9k jumboframes). Everything is plugged into this switch.
All adapters are intel 1000mt (support 9k jumboframes). There is a 5-port 100mbit Dlink dsl router (gateway to internet) and a couple 10mbit jetdirect printserver devices on this network.
Will things work if I set the 1000mbit cards to 9k jumbo frames?
Would plugging the 10mbit devices into the dsl router change anything relevant?

If you're doing massive file transfer (like a Network backup over the LAN) then Jumbo Frames may make a difference. For normal everyday mundane apps, they won't - and you won't touch the capacity of GigE either.
