This implementation does not rely on ICMP PTB messages. Instead, QUIC
packet acknowledgement is used to make sure the MTU is suppored by the path
([1], [2]). A lost packet, as detected by QUIC, indicates the MTU is too big.

Existing QUIC implementations use different approaches to size selection while
probing MTU. Options are:

- hardcoded MTU values array
- linear search
- binary search

A review of size search methods is available in [3].

The algorithm implemented first tries local MTU, followed by a binary search
in case the local MTU was too big.
