any ixp configuration which requires active polling to ensure correct configuration is doomed to failure. You are completely overestimating human nature if you believe that the IXP operator can make this work by harassing people into configuring the correct mtu, even if the data is clear that their systems are misconfigured.
It's not a novel idea, IXPs already do active polling, even ARP sponges. In a competitive market, hopefully customers will choose the IXP operator who knows how to ensure minimal pain for the customers. -- ++ytti
