What type of frames can a network engineer implement to manage a payload of up to 9,000 bytes?

Jumbo Frames are specifically designed to accommodate larger payloads than standard Ethernet frames, which typically support a maximum size of around 1,500 bytes. By allowing a payload of up to 9,000 bytes, Jumbo Frames enable more efficient data transfer for applications that require high bandwidth and minimize the processing overhead associated with multiple smaller frames. This capability is particularly beneficial in environments where large amounts of data are transmitted, such as video streaming, data backup solutions, and storage area networks.

Utilizing Jumbo Frames in a network can lead to improved throughput and reduced CPU usage on network devices because fewer frames need to be processed for the same volume of data. It is important, however, for all devices in the network path, including switches and routers, to support Jumbo Frames to avoid fragmentation and interoperability issues.

Standard Frames, Fragmented Frames, and Micro Frames are not suitable for this purpose as they do not support the 9,000 bytes payload requirement. Standard Frames are limited to 1,500 bytes, Fragmented Frames imply a process to split larger frames into smaller pieces, and Micro Frames are even smaller than standard frames intended primarily for specific use cases.
