-------------------------------------
In order to achieve maximum performance, we recommend setting the MTU size to
9000 for 10 GigE and 1500 for 1 GigE. 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. With some NICs, setting the MTU too high can also cause issues.
+To set the MTU to 9000, you can use the following command:
::
sudo ifconfig <interface> mtu 9000 # For 10 GigE
+ sudo ifconfig <interface> mtu 1500 # For 1 GigE
Using these MTUs will set the frame sizes for UHD communication to 8000 and 1472,
respectively.
In some cases, specifying the frame size manually by adding the argument
"<send/recv>_frame_size=1472" can solve issues. Note that a frame size of 1472 will limit
-the available sampling rate, although this is likely not a problem issue on 1 GigE.
