I doubt that 1500 is (still) widely used in our Internet... Might be, though, that most of us don't go all the way to 9k.

Last week I asked the operator of fairly major public peering points if they supported anything larger than 1500 MTU. The answer was "no".
There's still a metric buttload of SONET interfaces in the core that won't go above 4470. So, you might conceivably get 4k MTU at some point in the future, but it's really, *really* unlikely you'll get to 9k MTU any time in the next decade. Matt
