The lowest MTU on IPv6 is 1280, which means that even if we go with the minimal MTU just to get traffic to flow, it's not as terrible as IPv4's minimum MTU: 576.


That just means you'll have to encapsulate ipv6 in ipv4 to get across those really poorly configured routers...


Would those routers support 6 in the first place?


If it's encapsulated it doesn't matter :)
