Hi Shahaf,

There is no specific usage, briefly while preparing RFC I concerned that the
jumbo_frame usage may not be straightforward and just left it in the RFC to not
mislead and postponed to consider later.
As mentioned before jumbo_frame should be replaced in final version of the patch.

Thanks,
