This appears to be the same as rdisc6 output at other times.

This test was similar to my earliest tests - start netcat listening, and
feed it a spew from /dev/zero.

It stall about 9 seconds into the tcpdump capture, and doesn't recover
until 125 seconds in.

There are some TCP Spurious Retransmissions and Dup ACKs in that span,
along with a lot of router solicitation and router advertisements
