Ok,

We have a number of 6over4 gif interfaces configured
on our 4.6 release machine. The default MTU is
configured as 1280, which is fine, but when attempting
to increase this to a larger value, such as 1400,
ifconfig reports that the new value has been applied
correctly, but upon actually sending large packets we
find that v6 fragmentation occurs at source.

We need to increase the MTU to take into account a
further layer of tunnelling applied downstream of the
FreeBSD machine.

It appears that the MTU isn't being honoured as set.
Is this a known problem fixed by 4.6.2 ?

Iain
