Forgive me if this is a FAQ.

I seem to remember coming across a document detailing special
considerations when running NFS over FDDI. I can't remember the
specifics, but there was an optimal and inefficient way to do it, and
the article implied that many people were doing it the inefficient way.

The only thing I can think of is configuring the MTU for better
throughput with NFS, but I can't think of why this would have a
significant effect...anyone? Offhand I can't remember if Sun decided 4K
or 8K packets were the sanctioned unit for NFS..probably 8K, but I'm
guessing there.
