mtu

[Ricardo Patara]

Hello Erik,
Actually I tried to send an email to point of contact associated with  
the IP block :)
Then I search for some google folks email address with no success.  
Thanks for your promptly answer and attention on this.

In our case, in order to test if the MTU was the problem, we lowered  
it to 1480. But maybe it should be something around the number you  
mentioned.

Just for curiosity, did google tried to contact upstream providers or  
peering to find out if there was any icmp6 filtering in some of the  
paths?

thanks again.
