option 212 for 6RD

No, the original question was more along the lines of:

«What happens if I just turn on 6RD by enabling DHCP option 212? Are
some CPEs likely to misbehave and make my subscribers unhappy?»

That said, if you read between the lines of the original question, it
suggests: «I have no control over my subscribers' CPEs». Which makes the
LAN MTU solution extremely impractical to deploy. In that situation, the
solution that is the most likely to yield the best effect, would be to
enable TCP MSS clamping for 6RD traffic on the BR (or somewhere else in
the ISP's core network). IMHO.
