dreams become nightmares very quickly. I will observe that moving to jumbo for a locally attached file-store was painful, so I do know even in the purely local context I've hit pain. However, in constructing GPON common-bearer services (NZ, AU) the issue of a layer-2 which can encompass 1500 end to end, with a mix of different overlay provider mechanisms (PPPoE, PPPoATM, Native, VLAN...) It also becomes clear, the engineers who run the fibre are well aware they have technology in the wide, talking from CPE to ISP router, which *could* do it. They have to. They are pretty much obliged to handle 2k, to allow the interior to be encap/decap for 1500. Customrs still get 14xx but the actual back-end is now north of that. I think it could be more north. Its not the glass and the layer-2 won't do "big" any more, its how the upper layers are configured in equipment which is the problem. What worries me is the people who are going to chime in about chipsets and SFP designs which *cannot* do it. I suspect there is far more transmission equipment stuck in the past than I would like. I'll shut up now. I just wish as an SDO we could segment this problem off and get a rational conversation about pits and poles to fix this. -G On Thu, Oct 18, 2018 at 2:36 PM Mikael Abrahamsson <swmike@swm.pp.se> wrote: > > On Wed, 17 Oct 2018, George Michaelson wrote: > > > dreaming of a larger packet future... > > It's completely undeployable in real life without something like > https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-van-beijnum-multi-mtu-05 > > It's not realistic to expect a whole lan of managed and unmanaged devices > to show up at a LAN and communicate with each other on a large MTU LAN. > > Right now my only tools are to crank up the L2 switch to 9000 MTU and > advertise MTU=9000 in RA.
