>Description:
When sending a Packet (ping) with the ip option timestamp and flag = 0.
Type = 68, Length = 8, Pointer = 5, oflw = 0, flag = 0, timestamp = 32 bits of zeros.

The respons is a echo reply (correct) but with the overflow flag set to 1 (incorrect) and no timestamp supplied.

Using flag = 1 or 3 gives the correct response.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a IP packet with timestamp option (see above) + Icmp echo request and send it to the FreeBSD host/router. Check the timestamp option in the reply. The overflow flag is set but it should not.
>Fix:
I guess timestamp with only timestamp is not implemented. It seems like timestamp with timestamp + IP address is only implemented.
