Thank you for sending this script. I'm having trouble understanding how
it differs from path-mtu. Can you explain it more?

Can you show an example of path-mtu's output and your script's output
for the same target, and highlight the parts that are different or
added?

Could what this script does be implemented as a patch to path-mtu?
