JUMBO FRAME SUPPORT

[DCNESS1213]

can this be used to support jumbo frame up to 9600.

Depending on your network setup then yes. You can send a ping that is over 9600 bytes using PowerPing but ultimately it is up to your network adapter if that will be sent as a jumbo frame, PowerPing cannot affect how the data is actually transmitted.

im try to use this syntax but not able to send the ping due to an error. Am i doing it right or there is another way to set the Frame size.

c:>powerping 8.8.8.8 -s 1500 -ti 6 -sym 1 -c 1000

Ah yes this does seem to be a PowerPing bug, it's been reported before (#119). I will look to get this fixed soon, thanks for reporting.

I've fixed this bug and you should be able to send a ping of over 1500 bytes in the latest release (you can download it here).

Just any FYI, in testing I found that 8.8.8.8 won't reply to any pings bigger than 1000 bytes :) But I did verify that the full 1500 bytes are getting sent on the wire.

Found an issue with parsing the returned packet, thanks for reporting this. Will update the release later today 👍
