Thanks. I've never run Asterisk on Ubuntu. FreePBX is CentOS based which is mostly what I've run Asterisk on. I only started to worry about Ubuntu around 2012.
That mad IPv6 address thing must have stuffed up more than just a VoIP negotiation packet. DNS switches from UDP to TCP when responses get too large.
DNS is affected, but differently. It's mostly DNSSEC signatures that cause trouble nowadays.
SIP is special because the signalling and media protocols are separate. So when a call is being established, the parties exchange their media endpoint locations. This necessarily means that the server has to list its IPs (or DNS names) so that the client can choose the best one. And as a quirk of SIP, it sends the entire set for each of its supported codecs.
Just regular Ubuntu. It was around 2009 or so.
