If customer does not react, put it on quarantine VLAN. This can be automated too. Wrong MTU => open internal case, contact customers email, no customer response in N days, quarantine VLAN.
Even the most outrageous success stories in the world, majority of the people would have said before attempting that it won't work, because that is safe and easy. And usually they are right, most things don't work, but it's very difficult to actually know without trying what works and what does. Luckily we have actual IXPs running big and small VLAN MTUs, even without this monitoring capability, and it Internet still works.
Imo, there is not enough value for an IXP to do such monitoring, especially assuming we agree on Richard Steenbergen's conclusion in his presentation. Promoting that kind of monitoring as a differentiator will surely help adding an extra bullet point on marketing material, but will be a trivial part in the decision process of a potential customer. --Aris
