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 DHCP transaction, DHCP client pid 26074 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.

Feb 7 14:34:20 szimszon-kili nm-dispatcher: Dispatching action 'dhcp4-change' for enp1s0 --- 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.
