When I read the code about the ICMP message handling, I found a
question:
When the host receive the ICMP message :
Type = 3 (Destination Unreachable)
Code = 4 (Fragmentation needed and DF set)
If (ipv4_config.no_pmtu_disc) is set(to 1), then kernel will do nothing.
I'd like to know what will happen if the kernel do nothing after
receiving
this ICMP message?
Nothing will happen - that's the point.
The connection between source and destination will not
be setup forever??
Probably not.
Thanks in advance
