Hi Fred.

>What is the MTU as seen by the IPv6 hosts - 1480? Something less?

Yes. Since we set the MMS to 1420, which is 20 bytes lower than the
default 1440. By doing this we only see 1480 sizes packets for IPv6.

Yes, but then we would need to upgrade all our access routers, which then
again would give us the possibility to do native Dual Stack.
