Regarding Barrier-Breaker: The default settings in OpenWRT with
bridges are unfortunately broken (in that breakes multicast, which
means broken IPv6):

https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2014-September/027876.html

(the first one is my "favourite", a typical OpenWRT feature patch:
awesome idea, good intention, but being applied to the repo without any
peer-reviewing and broken; instead of going through upstream first...)


You'll probably want to disable the multicast-to-unicast feature
or even the bridge snooping as a whole for now.

Cheers, Linus
