[Warning: DMARC Fail Email] Re: ipv6 connexion fail - ipv4 OK

root at gw:~# ping -M do -s 1472 13.17.1.2
PING 103.127.123.217 (13.17.1.2) 1472(1500) bytes of data.
1480 bytes from 13.17.1.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=7.93 ms

Link can transmit a max of 1500 bytes as seen above.

Pinging a LAN segment has the same limit. ie PC to PC has the same result.
