Further testing:
Windows XP .. not supported (duh)
Windows 7 .. not supported
* implies W8x & W10 by default.

due to a distinct lack of developer support
from the windows server base
simple common sense * implies ALL Win OS
so not supported by *any* windows OS.

MAC .. as if ..
BSD .. yeah right ..

Bottom line:
--mtu-disc *Not Implemented*

Suggest deprication, extraction and distruction
of man entry and any related guff.

use ping (no frag, as per your OS)

PS: apologies for apparent frustration ..
but it is not as if nobody reads the * manual !

Kind Regards :D
