#5 According to the IETF, MSS hacks do not exist and neither do MTU issues http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/v6ops/current/msg12933.html
They couldn't be more wrong. MTU issues still exist, and not just with tunnelling, but tunneling should be an expected scenario for IP. The protocol IPv6 still handles it very poorly, by still requiring external ICMP messages, through the unreliable PTMUD scheme, matters are as bad if not worse than with IPv4. It's just so unfortunate that IPv6 couldn't provide a good solution to one of IP's more troublesome deficiencies.
