I've marked the appropriate sections as red on the

or were they unreviewed?  Either way the feedback so far will be taken
into account.

In this case the MTU is usually limited to 1492 bytes (1500 byte ethernet frame minus PPP framing overhead). If all ICMP is blocked at some part of the link then packet fragmentation doesn't work properly and you end up with symptoms like interactive SSH logins work but bulk SCP or FTPs don't.

It was very useful - thank you!  Myself, or another volunteer should
get to them in due time.  At the moment I'm just trying to get triage
done.
