ClusterMonkey - Cluster Interconnects: The Whole Shebang: Page 2: "SMC has been selling a very inexpensive line of unmanaged small switches for several years. While these switches are very good in their own right, one of the best features of these switches is that they are capable of jumbo frames. (Note: The prices mentioned below were determined at the time the article was posted.) The SMC 8505T 5-port switch costs about $70, the SMC 8508T 8-port switch costs about $100, and a 16-port version (8516T) starts at about $300. There is also a 24-port version of this new switch called the SMC 8524T that can be found for about $400. The 8516T and 8524T switches are becoming more difficult to find but there is a new line of 16 and 24 port unmanaged switches that are capable of jumbo frames. The SMC GS16-Smart 16-port switch costs about $240. A 24-port version of this switch, the SMC GS24-Smart can be found for about $300. "
