I usually use "-M do" for that sort of testing.

The "tracepath" program will also show you the MTU along the route (as long as 
UDP isn't being blocked).

...and from bitter experience I would suggest doing the same test in the 
reverse direction; at work we were having problems for a while with sites 
outside using jumbo frames until we learnt that the uni had asymetric routing 
and the return path had a different MTUon one segment to the incoming path.

Oh, and some bright spark had decided that they could save IP's by using 
RFC1918 addresses on those segments and so the router was sending out PMTUD 
ICMP's with addresses that would get dropped at the border. :-/

Good luck!
