Public bug reported:

In the router the radvd.conf:

--- cut ---
interface eth0
{
        AdvSendAdvert on;
        

        # Disable Mobile IPv6 support
        AdvHomeAgentFlag off;
        AdvLinkMTU 1410;

        prefix 2001:470:212c::/64
        {
                AdvOnLink on;
                AdvAutonomous on;

                # Disable Mobile IPv6 support
                AdvRouterAddr off;
        };
};   
--- cut ---

So the advertised MTU is 1410. The interfaces configured to dual stack.
So there is an IPv4 link with MTU 1500.

If I read this in syslog:

--- cut ---
Feb  7 14:32:37 szimszon-kili NetworkManager[903]: <warn>  (enp1s0): DHCPv6 
request timed out.
Feb  7 14:32:37 szimszon-kili NetworkManager[903]: <info>  (enp1s0): DHCPv6 
state changed unknown -> timeout
Feb  7 14:32:37 szimszon-kili NetworkManager[903]: <info>  (enp1s0): canceled

Feb  7 14:32:37 szimszon-kili NetworkManager[903]: <info>  (enp1s0): DHCPv6 
state changed timeout -> done
--- cut ---

The /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/enp1s0/mtu is: 1500 which is wrong.


After I read this in syslog:

--- cut ---

 The /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/enp1s0/mtu is: 1410 which is good.

Because the IPv6 connection can't handle packet size bigger than 1420 if
the interface has MTU 1500 than there are many connection problems.
