I've got two questions related to the handling of ICMP packets:
1. Shouldn't icmp_input() map ICMP type 3, code 13 packets to
PRC_UNREACH* error codes, instead of discarding them?
2. Background info: What's the difference between codes 9, 10
(ICMP_UNREACH_{NET,HOST_PROHIB) and 13? Is 13 a code which covers
both 9 and 10, or does it have a special meaning?
Thanks,
Andras
