This article brings up the question of network devices that can
handle packets of length >= 2K. Is there any such devices available?

Also i'd like to point out that ethernet is spec'd not to handle
packets of this length so you would have to have a device that can
generate a large packet to be affected.

Has anyone looked at typical net traffic to see how much a large
packet feature would be used?
