Yes, it's me again - hopefully one last time. I took out a bit too much in my last iteration on the document. I have added the following new text under "Sending Packets:"   "If the packet is 1280 bytes in length and it contains an IPv6  fragment header, the tunnel interface encapsluates the

Erik,   Thanks for the comments; as you may have seen I just posted an update to the document that fixes at least one of the issues you have identified (the  new version is using the correct L2 fragmentation mechanism). See:     www.geocities.com/osprey67/tunnelmtu-04.txt   As to how the near endpo
