A "4rd" tunnel isn't "any" tunnel. 
It is only that which is defined by the 4rd-u specification.

Having already answered (see just below), and having received so far no 
reaction on this subject, I don't think I should have done more.
Your complaining about my insufficiently answering is therefore undeserved 
(IMHO).

Please restate the ICMP issue you still have in mind.
I will try to answer (as usual).

The fact is that there is no noticeable difference, e2e, between:
- IPv4 packets that are only natively routed
- IPv4 packets that are tunneled on their way any number of times (be it with 
4rd tunnels or any other tunnels).

We have, I think, more important subjects to debate.
