Welcome to the great world of Teredo/6to4 where the endpoints/relays of the tunnel are anycasted in both IPv4 and IPv6 and thus can be quite difficult to debug, it can be done but requires quite a lot of vision in the network on both IPv4 and which will be generally near impossible. > There are IPv6 web site that I cannot browse until I lower the MTU to 1400. Why don't you just do 1280 which is the default? Do also note that you have two levels of PMTU, the IPv6 one and the IPv4 one. If you configure your MTU of the tunnel incorrectly compared to the relay that you are using you will not see the PMTU's coming through either or they might not accept your large packets. Both MTUs can be broken due to folks filtering ICMP which is generally a bad thing to do. Greets, Jeroen
