This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF. Title : The IPv6 Jumbo Payload Option Author(s) : B. Hinden, S. Deering Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-jumbo-00.txt Pages : 5 Date : 07-Aug-98 This document describes the Jumbo Payload option for IPv6, which is used to send IPv6 packets with payloads longer than 65,535 octets. This option is relevant only for IPv6 nodes that may be attached to links with a link MTU greater than 65,575 octets, and need not be implemented or understood by IPv6 nodes that do not support attachment to links with such large MTUs.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-jumbo-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
