Ouch that’s rough. One nice bit of IPv6 is that it doesn’t allow fragmentation. It often much nicer to get no message or an error than subtly missing data.
Ah yah that’s right. I’m just learning more of ipv6 and get it mixed up. It appears what I had in my mind was about intermediate routers: “Unlike in IPv4, IPv6 routers (intermediate nodes) never fragment IPv6 packets.” (Wikipedia). To the previous point, it looks like ipv6 does require networks to send 1280 byte or smaller packets unfragmented.
