Help me find a switch

[Sprooty]

Hey,

I am currently looking for a Gigabit Switch that i can use at home and take to use at lans i have with friends every month.

I have just started looking around and seeing all this stuff about "jumbo frames?" and every review i seem to read where a switch does not support jumbo frames the network speeds are as slow at 100mpbs.

So i was wondering if you guys know any cheap decent 8-port gigabit switches that will acutally perform at the speeds they should (not full 1000 but i would atleast expect 30mbps)

This is what i wanted befor i found out about all this jumbo frame crap..

i found this

D-Link DGS-1008D 8 Port 10/100/1000Mbps Copper Gigabit Ethernet Switch


can anyone confirm this supports jumbo frames? the manufacturer website says

Jumbo Frames: 9k

Yes, that is jumbo frames. It's maximum packet size is 9000 instead of the standard 1500 / 1492
