It is possible to use smaller MTUs, but this -can affect performance. With some NICs, setting the MTU too high can also cause issues, -though. To set the MTU to 9000, you can use the following command: +can affect performance.

In some cases, specifying the frame size manually by adding the argument "<send/recv>_frame_size=1472" can solve issues.
