Useful or useless
Seeing that most everyone will use Volumio over a network to access much and/or Internet radio would it be useful to add some network tweaks in order to help this aspect operate at full efficiency?
Or Maybe Not?

FYI, pro or con you need to make your opinion be known, including any tests results from trying different things.
This is a great piece of software SPEAK UP and be active, dont let this thing die like so many other Linux based softwares.
what do you mean with network tweaks?
I might misunderstand but ethtool allows users to adjust the settings on their computers Ethernet card
Well apparently Volumio does use a ethernet tweek
I changed the ntu value of 1500 to 9000 to allow Jumbo frames
ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000

Linux Configure Jumbo Frames to Boost Network Performance / Throughput
Jumbo frames can reduce server overhead such as a big decrease in CPU usage when transferring larger file. Also you should see some increase in network throughput.
