Title:
  Hyper-V NIC cannot pass IPv6 UDP packets by default until protocol
  offload is disabled

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:

  Hi,

  On a client server, I can't get a response from a name server in ipv6+udp. On the same server, it works fine in tcp.
  If I log on my name server, I can get a response from himself but, as a client, it can't get a response from another name server.

  here are the steps to reproduce : 
  - Create a new server using Ubuntu server 16.04. Set it to use ipv4 and use your preferred name server. Select absolutely nothing as functionality. 
  - check some nslookup and apt-get stuff to verify network is OK
  - add ipv6 to the interface and refer to an IPV6 nameserver. I have 3 and thats why I noticed the problem >> All 3 ipv6 nameservers are filling the 3 places in resolv.conf.
  - if you don't have 3 ipv6 nameservers, just add one and comment the line with the ipv4 name server.
  - verify your resolv.conf. Should only content ipv6 reference.
  - Now, you can't nslookup anymore... 
  - add some tests : "dig @ipv4server google.com" works but "dig @ipv6server google.com" don't

  
  Here a more tests : 

  
  Nameserver1 : Nameserver1.MyDomain :  XXX.YYY.ZZZ.250 / xxxx:yyyy:zzzz::250
  Client 		StandAloneServer.MyDomain		:   XXX.YYY.ZZZ.209 / xxxx:yyyy:zzzz::209

  With IPV4
