2675: IPv6 Jumbograms.

HTML TXT PS PDF

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.
