IPv6 jumbograms was intended for some super computer inter connect with a massive MTU.
I don't know of any use of it, but is it harmful if the specification is left there in place?

I don't expect any implementation supporting it unless they also support data-link layers with an MTU > 64K.
Or is that the problem you are trying to solve, that a TCP implementation must handle datagrams larger than 64K?
Is there any other solution?

Cheers,
Ole
