Possible support for Jumbo Frames (9k packet)?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Definitely not a problem - but an enhancement request. 

As proven by the 20Gbps demo from Napatech - Ostinato can be used to drive some 
pretty high traffic rates.

Depending on the hardware - it's usually easier to drive high Gigabit (10Gbps) 
traffic if you can use jumbo frames (around 9k) instead of just 1.5k sizes.  I 
believe most 10Gigabit adapters are supporting jumbo frame sizes - so it would 
be great if this support could be added to Ostinato.

NOTE:  I did try and changed the size to around 8k - but Ostinato just sort of 
"froze" when I started it up (I had to close it and restart to recover).  At 
the very least, Ostinato should probably not accept packet sizes that are over 
what it supports (I notice it does show 64 to 1518 as the valid ranges).

Thanks in advance for your consideration.
