That doc explains why this is effort isn’t useful. As I noted to Tero, there’s no ICMP message that says “bigger than I’d like”. PTB means “packets larger than this will be dropped”. That’s not what’s going on here, so it’s the wrong message to support.

There is no message that supports what you’re trying to do - perhaps because there can’t and shouldn’t be.
