For the test in the last bullet: `-M do` is the Linux `iputils` spelling; macOS uses `ping -D -s 1472`, Windows `ping -f -l 1472`, and for IPv6 the payload that exercises the minimum MTU is 1232 bytes (1280 minus 40 for the IPv6 header and 8 for ICMPv6). Because IPv6 routers never fragment, the filtered-ICMP black hole is more common there, not less.","created_at":"2026-09-15T19:49:11.975010+00:00","kind":"observation"}],"next_cursor":null}
