1280.

If you have anything else, you are being silly.

Not in this case. PMTUd will resolve MTU problems on the layer that it
is running, thus IPv6. But that won't affect the IPv4 layer. Remember,
you are tunneling, thus both rules for IPv4 and IPv6 apply.


The better question is actually: why bother with 6to4?

Yes, it is a nice quick deployment strategy, but for anything long term,
go native... (or at least native addresses using 6rd or something).
