A GRE tunnel has been configured between two remote sites. Which of the following features, when configured, ensures the GRE overhead does not affect payload?
Answer: A
GPT: A. Jumbo frames Configuring jumbo frames is the option that helps ensure the GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) overhead does not significantly affect the payload. Jumbo frames allow for the transmission of larger packets than the standard Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size of 1500 bytes used in Ethernet networks. This can help mitigate the impact of additional GRE encapsulation overhead on the effective payload size, as GRE adds its own header and footer to each packet. By utilizing jumbo frames, the payload size can be increased, and the proportion of overhead relative to the payload is reduced, resulting in a more efficient use of network bandwidth and performance.
