Using Jumbo Frames for Point-to-Point Ethernet Hardware Co-Simulation - 2020.2 English

Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames that are larger than 1500 bytes. You can speed up the data transfers needed for Point-to-Point Ethernet hardware co-simulation by specifying that the Ethernet adapter can use jumbo frames for these data transfers.

You can enable jumbo frames when you first set up the local area network for Point-to-Point Ethernet hardware co-simulation (see Setting Up the Local Area Network on the PC).

If you have already set up the local area network, you can enable the use of jumbo frames afterwards as follows:

1. In the Windows Control Panel, select Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings.

   The Network Connections folder opens.
