using hping2 to validate jumbo frames

Question

I was wondering if anybody had used hping2/3 to validate jumbo frames.

I know for example you can do:

* ping -M do -s 8972 [destinationIP]

to do this task using ping, but I don't want to use ICMP to check this, since ICMP is blocked by some environments and datacenters, whereas TCP/IP is ubiquitous.

Does anybody know the equivalent hping2/3 command and how it would work?

thanks much
