Greg,

<<one workaround would be to use 2 K-byte frames and implement sequencing, but the resulting GE SAN would be incompatible with the GE LAN, voiding the benefits of standardization.>>

This is also the reason that Alteon has hit so much resistance with their Jumbo (9K, if memory serves) frames concept. It's a great idea, but it is incompatible with everybody else's standard implementation.
