Title: Not good for jumbo frames
Review: It works well as a standard gigabit ethernet switch, but if you are looking for jumbo frame support you really should look elsewhere. It works well as some other reviewers on other sites have said up to around 6k packets, after which packet loss starts to increase. Additionally you can find analysis of this switch online showing blocking after about 4.5k packets, with a performance cliff around 7k packets. This is exactly what I saw, and would cause my fairly expensive Intel e1000 NIC to reset its own port back to 100 mbps. According to what I've found online there are actually two models, so it could be this problem is only with the original model (which I purchased in 2007). Anyway, I replaced this switch with a managed gigabit dlink switch and now have no problems. Anyway, it works well if all you want is regular gigabit, but stay away if you need reliable jumbo packets.
