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.

Right, though I'm unsure of "decade" since we're moving off SDH/Sonet
quite agressively.
