No entries at all in `ip -6 route show cache` and none in `ip -6 route show table cache` It is a quiet time of day, so I'll check again. What prompted me to look at net.ipv6.route.max_size was because I built my own newer kernel (in desperation). Linux version 5.4.11 (from kernel.org, .config from debian buster, make olddefconfig) gives out in dmesg: Route cache is full: consider increasing sysctl net.ipv[4|6].route.max_size. I've never seen this message on 4.19 Debian buster, but increasing net.ipv6.route.max_size made all the network hangs go away, both on 5.4.11 and 4.19 Tim Bray
