Just tried ping -s 1400 over Yggdrasil (IPv6 overlay) and it works. Reinforces my overlay choice.

Getting screwed by browsers though because their WebRTC implementations completely ignore Yggdrasil addresses.

How does that work, exactly? How does the browser differentiate between Yggdrasil addresses and others?

I believe that has to do with Yggdrasil intentionally using the address range that does not intersect with IETF (?) dedicated range for public IPv6 addresses, browsers see that and treat them as internal and never report them to ICE (candidate exchange).
