 What about jumbo frames (good/bad/does NetWorker just use them)?

I have several Data Domain DD460 devices that are NAS boxes. I connect them via cross-over cable to my storage nodes and use Jumbo Frames (MTU 9000) with them. They perform better with the Jumbo Frames than without. NetWorker just uses the network connection -- it's really NFS that is using the jumbo frames to get to the AFTD.
