The implementation is far from perfect. The attribute is added to the enX framing device driver instead of the entX adapter driver, and is not available for the IEEE 802.3 framing (etX). There is one more side effect: an Etherchannel cannot be enabled for largesend, and one cannot add a vEth adapter to an Etherchannel which contains a largesend-enabled physical adapter, for example to a LHEA port. Hence the conversion from HEA to SEA requires an outage.

mtu_bypass=1 disables the network statistics in topas and nmon. Strangeness.. or is this only on my servers?

Try using the lscfg command. Or one of these tools: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=aixtoolsc9e095f https://tuf.hds.com/instructions/servers/Lunstat.php

Well, I guess it would have been too easy to call this pararameter "largesend" :)

This document mentions the new mtu_bypass attribute. AIX Power Performance FAQ - May 8, 2012 ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/common/ssi/ecm/en/pow03049usen/POW03049USEN.PDF
