Title: IPv6 Jumbograms
Author(s): D. Borman, S. Deering, R. Hinden.
Status: PROPOSED STANDARD
Date: Aug 1999
Length: 17320
Obsoletes: RFC2147
A "jumbogram" is an IPv6 packet containing a payload longer than 65,535 octets. This document describes the IPv6 Jumbo Payload option, which provides the means of specifying such large payload lengths. It also describes the changes needed to TCP and UDP to make use of jumbograms.
Jumbograms are relevant only to IPv6 nodes that may be attached to links with a link MTU greater than 65,575 octets, and need not be implemented or understood by IPv6 nodes that do not support attachment to links with such large MTUs.
