The 8169, 8169S and 8110S also support jumbo frames, which can be configured
via the interface MTU setting.
+The MTU is limited to 7422, since the chip cannot transmit larger frames.
Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
.Xr ifconfig 8
utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit jumbo frames.
