Ethernet frame size affect on transfer speeds - LinkStation Pro

[ramseyb]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to understand what the ethernet frame size is used for on my LinkStation Pro?

 

Does it have any affect on the network transfer speeds? If so what is the recommend fame size to use in order to achieve as close to the full 76 MB/s (600 Mbps) for this unit. I'm currently only able to achieve about 11 MB/s (88 Mbps). Setup: Dell R300 Server / 1000 Mbps NIC (Cat5e cable) -- to -->  Dell 5324 Switch 1 GB ports -- to --> LinkStation Pro (Assuming the supplied is a Cat6 cable)

 

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
