Hi all,

I've now found the reason for the problems with ipv6 ftp transmissions. It seems to be 
a problem with pf and the "keep state" argument. 

The problem was that a ipv6 ftp download would stall after ~60 kBytes transmitted. 
pfctl -ss showed the TCP stream(s) as CLOSED:SYN SENT.
The box running pf is a DSL router/ v6 tunnel endpoint, running RELENG_5_1 and pf-2.03.

The offending pf.conf rules:

pass out on gif0 inet6 all keep state
pass in on gif0 inet6 all keep state

After removing the "keep state" argument, everything worked. Strangely, this seemed to 
only affect traffic from other hosts on the network, traffic originating on the router 
worked fine.

rgds,
Sascha
