Subject: Re: IPv6 path discovery oddities - flushing the routing cache resolves

Hi,

Thanks for your fast response, please see below. Sorry for the rather 
long mail, due to the routing tables. Even though they're really short, 
the output of ipv6_route is extensive...

When it works (please note that the routing cache at first doesn't show 
an MTU, that only happens after a "too big" has been received, hence the 
difference before and after a "ps uaxww"), I have the following - this 
is from last night:

negative time; if it's normal, please ignore:

(The second time suddenly a couple of routes were gone - I don't know 
why). After "cat /proc/net/ipv6_route > /tmp/route-bad" I typed a "route 
-6 flush cache" and TCP started flowing again. Here's ipv6_route:
