Yes, now I am dropping packets in OUTPUT chain for type 3. Initially, I implemented the chain to drop type 0 and 8. But it wont worked and the packets were hitting at firewall for multiple ICMP requests. I didn't Understand the problem. After posting here I go through all the types of ICMP types where I understand to drop packets for "Host unreachability" . Thanks for your help Mr. Gordon 🙏.
