VIAVI TestCenter: Why am I seeing Latency = 0 when configuring RFC2544 with jumbo frames?
In order to avoid this you need to validate whether if your DUT supports jumbo frames or not, if yes, please configure it to support jumbo frames and also its important you configure the interfaces to use the jumbo MTU size that you specified earlier
Example. (I’m using a Nexus 9236)
Nexus-9236C(config)#system jumbomtu 9216
Nexus-9236C# show running-config all | include jumbomtu
system jumbomtu 9216
Nexus-9236C(config)# interface ethernet 1/26
Nexus-9236C(config-if)# MTU 9216
Nexus-9236C(config)# interface ethernet 1/25
Nexus-9236C(config-if)# MTU 9216
Nexus-9236C# show interface eth 1/26 | include MTU
MTU 9216 bytes, BW 100000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec
Nexus-9236C# show interface ethernet 1/26 | include MTU
MTU 9216 bytes, BW 100000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec
After configuring the DUT to accept jumbo frames (9216) the result are as follows:
