IPv6 mutli-GB jumbo frames? (self.ipv6)

Has anyone messed with using the very large jumbo frames for IPv6 for anything like video transfer, or large file transfers?

I'm curious if anyone has done it for firewall overhead reduction too

Multi-GB jumbo frames? At that point you'd hit ethernet limitations rather than IP ones.

True, but should still see a reduction in layer 3 fire walling overhead, no? Though at that point I see places where annoying issues could start occurring.
