I think there are three ways for us.
1) Do nothing. Jumbo Frames is an illegal specification for IEEE
802.3, and there is no de facto frame size also. Wait until IEEE
will move, or a de facto standard will be made.
=> this is not acceptable because jumbo frames are too good for
performance (two years ago I discover my FreeBSD (again :-) TCP
ran at a speed proportional to the frame size up to ~1Gbits/s).
2) Make a new protocol for MTU/MRU discovery/negotiation. Thanks for
Mark, Iljitsch or others.
=> I disagree: this should be the job of IEEE, not the IETF or the
IPv6 WG one.
3) Make a memorandum for Jumbo Frames with current implementations.
Fix the implicit maximum value of RFC2464, how to enable Jumbo
Frames for IPv6, the estimated problems, the implimentation
restrictions, and so on.
=> I vote for this. In fact, it seems we have only/first to fix
the wording, i.e., to replace the default MTU from the standards
by the default MTU configured on the interface, haven't we?
