There is no "Don't Fragment bit" in IPv6, so this is wrong. In IPv4 we do set the don't fragment bit in the packet to prevent router fragmentation, in IPv6 we prevent fragmentation in the local output path. The "Don;t fragment transmitted packets." is not precise. In IPv6 it would be the other way around "Don;t transmit fragmented packets." What about "-D Prevent IP fragments."? bluhm
