I thought it would be worth giving an update on a couple matters arising from this original thread.
- The behaviour Mikael noticed, where MSS adjustment wasn't working for TCP over IPv6, was a bug that was specific to the 7300 platform. The fix is now committed and will ship in the next maintenance update of 15.2(4)M. - Partly as a result of the feedback received on the original thread, there is a revised implementation of TCP MSS adjustment planned initially for 15.3(3)M for ISR platforms, which will allow MSS for TCP over IPv4 and IPv6 to be adjusted independently. This implementation will then appear on the ASR1000 series in a subsequent release, currently intended to be 15.4(1)S.

The code is definitely present in that version, so it's either a bug or a config. issue.

I tried this on my 6rd tunnel interface and it didn't work (no change seen on IPv6 MSS in either direction). After reading your email I also tried to configure it on the uplink interfaces (they do IPv4/IPv6 native forwarding, no MPLS), and it didn't seem to make any difference (command used was "ip tcp adjust-mss 1200").
