Linux MTU et UDP

Quelqu'un peut-il m'expliquer ce comportement ? J'ai quelques VMS (centos) fonctionnant sur un fournisseur de nuage. L'interface est définie sur le standard 1500 MTU.

pining avec de gros paquets ICMP fonctionnent bien :

# ping -s 1600 10.132.6.3
PING 10.132.6.3 (10.132.6.3) 1600(1628) bytes of data.
1608 bytes from 10.132.6.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.16 ms
1608 bytes from 10.132.6.3: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.09 ms
1608 bytes from 10.132.6.3: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.04 ms
^C
--- 10.132.6.3 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2207ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.044/1.101/1.168/0.063 ms

Il semble donc que quelque chose fragmente le trafic ICMP.

Mais un trafic UDP important n'y parvient pas :

]# nping --udp -p 111 -data-length 1600 10.132.6.3

Comment expliquer que le trafic UDP ne soit pas fragmenté ?
