Quiz: Weird IPv6 Traffic on the Local Network

One thing that I enjoy a lot is capturing network traffic to
subsequently try to figure out whether the captured traffic makes any
sense -- you learn a lot that way.

The following packet was shared with me by Timo Hilbrink during the 10th
Slovenian IPv6 Summit.

The quiz consists in explaining the packet trace bellow.

Actors:

* Apple iOS 8.3
* Fritz!Box CPE


The "Crime Scene" (tcpdump packet trace):

Two packets:

19:00:02.246726 IP6 truncated-ip6 - 16011 bytes missing!(class 0x50,
flowlabel 0x00040,
hlim 0, next-header unknown (64) payload length: 16035)

So... can you explain what this packet trace is all about?
