''' -s 1472''' When setting size in ping, the size is the payload size - not the full packet size. The full packet size is payload + ICMP header size (28 bytes). The option for payload size is -s.
 
Note: ping is slightly different on different operating systems, the above is a Debian machine, on an Apple you can use:.
 
ping -D -s 1472 81.187.81.187
On OSX (Apple), to perform a ping with the same options, you can use:
ping -c1 -D -s 1472 81.187.81.187
 
On a Windows machine to perform a ping with the same options, you can use:
ping -n1 -f -l 1472 81.187.81.187
