Jumbo Frames

Is there any drawback to enabling Jumbo Frames on all of my systems that
support it if they reside on a network with clients that do not support
Jumbo Frames?

Hi ,

For Windows XP &2003 system, they support Jumbo Frames for sure.
However,all network components need to be able to handle Jumbo Frames.
Therefore, if some device doesn't support Jumbo Frames in the network, it
will not work.
