Dave,

>>> This would however require that we allow MTUs tied to not only PIO, but also RIO. I still don't know what to do about the implicit default route that one points to anyone one sees an RA from. Personally I consider this design of the IPv6 protocol to be unfortunate.

You could, but I was more thinking of including MTU information along with prefix advertisements in BGP. Each BGP writer then rewrites the announced MTU if it's interface MTU is lower. That would be equivalent to associating it with an RIO. Unfortunately the BGP signalling path might not be the same as the data path. ;-)

Cheers,
Ole
