DigitalOcean Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs) that run on top of virtualized hardware. Each Droplet you create is a new server you can use, either standalone or as part of a larger, cloud-based infrastructure.
The VPC private interface, eth1, on GPU Droplets supports jumbo frames.
To use jumbo frames, you need to manually configure the maximum transmission unit (MTU) on the interface by running the following command on the Droplet:
ip l set dev eth1 mtu 9002
You can automatically configure jumbo frames when you create a GPU Droplet by using user data. The following cloud-config file runs the above command automatically on creation:
#cloud-config
bootcmd:
- ip l set dev eth1 mtu 9002
You can enter this cloud-config file on the GPU Droplet creation page in the control panel, pass it to the API with the user_data field, or pass it to the CLI with the --user-data-file flag.
