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

For once, this quote is almost relevant:

"The Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material."
