We force DF flag on tunnels with preconfigured hop limit, that is ALL. :-) Well, it does not remove the problem completely, but exponential growth of network traffic is changed to linear (branches, that exceed pmtu are pruned) and tunnel mtu - fastly degrades to value <68, where looping stops. + rapidly degrades to value <68, where looping stops.
