Instead of simply forcing a 0 payload_len in IPv6 header, implement RFC 2675 and insert a custom extension header. Note that only TCP stack is currently potentially generating jumbograms, and that this extension header is purely local, it wont be sent on a physical link. This is needed so that packet capture (tcpdump and friends) can properly dissect these large packets.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
