For high-performance iSCSI workloads, especially in a Nutanix environment using AHV nodes and a 10 GbE interface, enabling Jumbo Frames on both the Host and the Controller Virtual Machine (CVM) is recommended. Jumbo Frames allow for a larger payload per network packet, which reduces the overhead required to send large amounts of data. Enabling Jumbo Frames on both the host and the CVM ensures that both ends of the communication channel can handle larger packets, thereby optimizing throughput and reducing latency for high-performance workloads.
