    ipv6: Use 1280 as min MTU for ipv6 forwarding · 14f3ad6f

    Clients will set their MTU to 1280 if they receive a
    ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG message with an MTU less than 1280.
    
    To allow encapsulating of packets over a 1280 link
    we should always accept packets with a size of 1280
    for forwarding even if the path has a lower MTU and
    fragment the encapsulated packets afterwards.
    
    In case a forwarded packet is not going to be encapsulated
    a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG msg will still be send by ip6_fragment()
    with the correct MTU.
