No, just the standard 1500 MTU.

We're only using two NIC's so far.  We see 90-95 MBytes/sec on a single link
with the current setup.  Without the squeue settings it was 50-60 MBytes/sec
per link.  It doesn't take much load to make a T2000 thread 100% busy.

I need to make a correction, the above reference was for a different
setting than we use.  Here's what we're doing:
http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/Networks#Additional_tunable_for_
systems_with_1.0GHz_CPU

This limits interrupt handling to one thread per core.  Just doing this
without any of the IP tuning made a difference on our T2000's (44 MBytes/sec
before, 50-60 after);  As you said, it likely would not matter on your system,
which has much faster CPU cores than the T2000.

Marion
