appropriate mitigation.
Thank you, and what should the severity of the bug be?
This is bug #9739722, Airport: Configurable IPv6 RA link-MTU or MSS Clamping.
Severity 2.
Hurricane Electric very generously lowered my tunnel's MTU to 1476 bytes IPv6
payload, so I'm now back on the IPv6 Internet again. (Yay!)
There is still one important detail to clear up, though. My ISP, BT Infinity
Business in the UK, seems to be ensuring that its links do not overflow by
"Clamping" the MSS option in TCPv4 SYN packets to 1400, and no sight of ICMPv4
"Datagram too large and DF set" messages. Can I take it for granted that you
didn't choose the same value, or do a similar terrible thing, in the Airport
products? I don't have any other PPPoE servers to try it on.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
