%       yes, it definitely needs to be a fixed number.  in other words, IPv6
%       link MTU should not be computed based on IPv4 PMTU (which is dynamic).
%       PMTUD assumes that link MTUs are stable enough.  by using IPv4 PMTU
%       as basis for IPv6 link MTU, IPv6 link MTU will be affected by IPv4
%       routing changes.  it will have negative impact to IPv6 PMTUD.

        for "cross-talk" to occur, is there a presumption of fate-sharing
        on links?  e.g. do you presume that a single link will always
        support both v4 and v6?
