Hello,
I'm having the following problem with IPv6 and a private internal LAN
which will be masqueraded to the public internet (I don't want to have
public IPs in the LAN because of some static IPs and tracking) . Rules are
generated by shorewall.
Problem is that ICMP6 packets source address is not translated by the
kernel on the reply when MTU has to be discovered because of too big packets
and limited MTU capabilities on the path (happens also on tcp6 which works
thereofore not correctly).

Looks to me like a a major kernel bug.
Kernel version is: 4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64 from Fedora 22
Any ideas?
Any comments?
Ciao,
Gerhard
