will send all tcp-packets with more than 1500 bytes to nirvana. BTW, neither tcp (1500 bytes max) nor udp (65 KBytes max) will ever generate packets of the size you mentioned above. ICMP packets are even smaller - i don't recall max size at the moment.
Both TCP and UDP is limited by the max IP packet size, approx 65KB for IPv4.
TCP normally generates small packets <1500, but if you disable Path-MTU discovery larger packets may be seen, just as can be seen with UDP.
