I have a /48 native IPv6 prefix routed to my home lab.

I come back from IETF, and Firefox 3.0.6 is hanging accessing
www.ietf.org on my duo-stack Centos 5.2 laptop.

That is called a Path MTU issue.

As you have a Linux box, install the tracepath6 tool (iputils-tracepath
on Debian, probably similar package for an RPM distro) and then do a
"tracepath6 www.ietf.org" and you will see where it goes wrong, then
contact your provider and pass them that info.

It is kinda funny to see big old AT&T hanging behind OCCAID; I hope the
secretariat is not paying AT&T too much for that kind of 'transit'.
(seems that Sprint and Telia also have the route but don't play transit
for AT&T thus the only transit for AT&T is OCCAID...) Lets hope that
improves soon...

Greets,
