There are some situations where you want to test if jumbo frames work as expected. The `ping` command on both [[Linux]] and [[Windows]] can be used to generate jumbo frames (and be informed if the payload gets fragmented) using the following flags: **[[Linux]]:** ```shell ping my.test.host -M do -s 8972 ``` **[[Windows]]:** ```shell ping my.test.host -f -l 8972 ``` [Source.](https://serverfault.com/questions/234311/testing-whether-jumbo-frames-are-actually-working)
