That's true.

Actually, it give it several tries before reducing PMTU.  Here is the full 
order of diagnostic queries when a timeout occurs:

# 1 - no change
# 2 - change timeout to 2 seconds
# 3 - no change
# 4 - reduce udp max payload to 512; change timeout to 1 second
# 5 - change timeout to 2 seconds
# 6 - remove EDNS option (if any); change timeout to 1 second
# 7 - remove EDNS option (if any)
# 8 - remove EDNS option (if any)
# 9 - remove EDNS option (if any)
# 10 - clear DO flag;
# 11 - disable EDNS
# 12 - return (give up)

DNSviz (and similar tools) may wrongly diagnose a PMTU problem if
there are random losses.

1) Try with bufsize=4096. No answer, because of a random packet loss.
2) Retry with bufsize=1024. Answer received, therefore it must be a
   PMTU problem.

That would show up as a non-answer over IPv6, rather than an apparent
PMTU/EDNS problem.

Testing G-root/192.112.36.4 with the RIPE Atlas probes, bit DO and

Any idea?


This might be a known intermittent IPv6 routing issue with DNSviz, do 
you see this problem for v4 and/or v6 ?
