Hmm, yes, true, IPv6 does not support fragmentation at all...
It does, but it's done end-to-end, not at intermediate routers. See Section 5 of RFC 2460.
Ah, ok, yes, you're right, forgot about the fragmentation header in IPv6 :).
By the way, does anyone know if it is possible to encapsulate packets with the ethernet frame / packets from a brdige port in ipv6? RFC 4303 for encapsulating security payload looks like only tunnelling of ip-traffic is possible with the standardised features of IPv6.
