Remarks
To lower the overhead of packet transmission, it is recommended to set this property to the maximum packet size allowed by your network card and network configuration (typically 1500 if Jumbo packets are disabled and 9014 if Jumbo packets are enabled). You can enable Jumbo packets in many network cards from the Device Manager by right-clicking the network card and selecting Properties. If your network card does not support Jumbo Frames, set this property to 1500.
