Some naughty person used RFC1918 address space to number their point-to-point
links?  That's OK, until they throw an ICMP error that gets tossed by a
border router that does bogon filtering.  Single biggest reason why
Path MTU Discovery doesn't work, except for maybe sites that stomp on all
the ICMP traffic they see....
