The ability to consistently support 64KB packets and thus high
throughput is potentially one of the main selling points for IPv6. I
don't believe in trying to persuade people to move to IPv6 through
differences in function. It will be a decade minimum before I consider
making use of an IPv6 feature not supported in IPv4 in an application
protocol. Performance is something else, I will encourage people to
upgrade to get faster performance.

You mean >64KB? -- 'cause IPv4 can do 64KB packets...
