Right, doing the ping test with payload sizes from 16 to 113 packets
gives me an almost completely flat ping time distribution ranging from
20.3 to 21.3 ms (see attached graphic). So probably I'm on PTM...

$ ping -c 1 -s $((1500-28)) -M do www.debian.org
PING www.debian.org (128.31.0.51) 1472(1500) bytes of data.
1480 bytes from senfl.debian.org (128.31.0.51): icmp_seq=1 ttl=45 time=114 ms

--- www.debian.org ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 114.522/114.522/114.522/0.000 ms

$ ping -c 1 -s $((1500-27)) -M do www.debian.org
PING www.debian.org (128.31.0.51) 1473(1501) bytes of data.
From 10.42.3.5 icmp_seq=1 Frag needed and DF set (mtu = 1500)

--- www.debian.org ping statistics ---
0 packets transmitted, 0 received, +1 errors

So the MTU seems to be 1500 bytes.

Now, how do I figure out what the PTM overhead is and feed it to HTB? :)
