// - the last element is the maxMTU
// - elements in-between are separated as close to each other
// The number 11 is chosen to find the final MTU in 3 searches,
// with a total search space of 1728 MTUs which is enough;
// to find it in 2 searches requires 37 parallel queries which
// could be blocked by firewalls.
