<cathartik> wow, enabling jumbo frames made things SO much better
<sartan> cathartik: be careful about jumbo frames over wans..
<sartan> what's your MTU at now? 9000?
<cathartik> sartan: what do wans have to do with it?
<sartan> lots.
<cathartik> yes, 9000
<cathartik> sartan: like?
<sartan> well for one, the major NAPs are designed for maximum compatibility ~ aka, 1500
<sartan> here, http://sd.wareonearth.com/~phil/jumbo.html
<cathartik> sartan: you might want to consider waiting until you read a little more before blurting things out like that
<sartan> fuck you
<sartan> seriously
<sartan> fuck you
<cathartik> umm, yeah, okay.
<sartan> read the goddamned article.
<sartan> shitbag. don't fucking condescend me like that
<cathartik> no, theres no reason for me to
<loceur> cathartik: we blurt things out here, back off
<cathartik> loceur: i didnt say anything that i need to "back off" from. he blurted out something about jumbo over wans... which im not sure where that came from...
<sartan> Well i'm telling you
<sartan> read the article..
<sartan> you can't go into an argument refusing to listen to the other side.
<sartan> if you arbitrarily enable jumbo frames over your entire network you're going to get some really fucked up performance over your longhaul WAN links.. that's both the internat naps, fibre terminations, oc3s, frame relays
<sartan> it goes on and on
<cathartik> when was there an argument?
<cathartik> im not sure why you keep talking about WANs
<sartan> an argument popped up as soon as you made that incredibly arrogant elitist statement
<cathartik> I never said anything about a WAN
<cathartik> sartan: incorrect.
<sartan> Well, you did say that you just 'enabled jumbos'. do you fully understand what they do?
<cathartik> yes.
<sartan> Do you really understand where and how you should be careful?
<cathartik> yup
<sartan> Great! then you can tell me what that page says already, right?
<cathartik> yep
<sartan> Perfect.
<cathartik> cool
<cathartik> now anyway
<cathartik> back to something at least remotely relevant to what i was saying
