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

You’d need some special hardware with a large enough MTU to handle that. While IP itself can most hardware can’t
You’re right! At least from what I can tell. Heck, Linux doesn’t support jumbo payloads from what I can tell, but FreeBSD [does] (https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/developers-handbook/ipv6/#ipv6-jumbo). Reading their docs it seems the lack of hardware support is an issue for them as well.
