I've been following this packet-fragmentation-when-using-NFS-over-FDDI
thread with some interest.

I've got two IBM RS/6000 950's which are shortly to become 970's, plus
I've got another 2 970's coming.  We do a lot of NFS over ethernet,
and I am about to move that NFS traffic over to a small FDDI ring that
only has the 970 servers on it.

Is the fragmentation problem present with this scenario, or is
fragmentation only a problem with bridges and routers?

Do I need to consider adjusting packet sizes?

Thanks,

-Bob
