I don't object and I think you have a good point, but what do the
standards say?
RFC1122 describes how to handle ICMP messages and distinguishes
between soft errors (event gets registered, but protocol continues)
and hard errors (a TCP connection is aborted).
As I understand you, the proposed chagne is noncompilant, and thus
presumptively shouldn't go in. Is that how you see it?
Yes. At least the EHOSTUNREACH error should not abort and the test
needs to be refined further for IPv6.
I'm not sure if if then still helps for broken IPv6 networks.
