Gigabit LAN

The PS3 has 1 Gigabit Ethernet port. The port accepts Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependent interface crossover), so no need for special crosscables when hooking up the PS3 direct to the PC.

Gigabit LAN chips used

A sample of the GbLAN chips in different PS3 models:

- - - - - Marvell Alaska 88E1310-NNB2 Used in Slim models (CECH-25xx, CECH-30xx)

Jumbo frames

From Linux perspective (under OtherOS <=3.15), the old drivers set the MTU to 2308, while newer versions set the MTU of 1518. This could be a hypervisor restriction (needs research).

MTU is set with vsh using syscall net_ioctl (libnet)

On 3.41 firmware, with a modified ps3_gelic driver, frames of 1624 bytes can be sent and frames of 1628 bytes can be received.
