The following reply was made to PR kern/12479; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bill Fenner <fenner@research.att.com> To: dan@obluda.cz Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kern/12479: PATCH Send ICMP_SOURCEQUENCH when packet dropped by dummynet Date: Sat, 3 Jul 1999 09:43:55 -0700 >Althought the sending of ICMP after dropping is optional (MAY be send) You must be reading an old RFC. Sending an ICMP after dropping is not recommended (SHOULD NOT) by RFC1812, Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers (section 4.3.3.3). A better patch would be one to remove sending source quenches from the main IP stack.
