MTU issues s0.wp.com

[Seth Mos <seth.mos () dds nl>]

Hi,

Since about a week or so it's become impossible to reach wp.com content 
over IPv6.

IPv4 content does work fine, using the IPv6 literal returns a 404 which 
is small enough to fit in a smaller 1480 byte MTU.

I have another test site that has a clean 1500 byte mtu and I can fetch 
the s0.wp.com page from there.

It looks like tunneled IPv6 users might be in hurt here.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

My traceroute shows they are employing a CDN for s0.wp.com, so not 
everyone might be affected.
