39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.Cd "device ti"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44driver provides support for PCI gigabit ethernet adapters based on
45the Alteon Networks Tigon gigabit ethernet controller chip.
46The Tigon
47contains an embedded R4000 CPU, gigabit MAC, dual DMA channels and
48a PCI interface unit.

105Support for jumbo frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.
106Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
107.Xr ifconfig 8
108utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit jumbo frames.
109Using jumbo frames can greatly improve performance for certain tasks,
110such as file transfers and data streaming.
111.Pp
112Support for vlans is also available using the
113.Xr vlan 4
114mechanism.
115See the
116.Xr vlan 4
