Dear Arturas Zalenekas,

AZ> How does TCP protocol work !? How should it replay, e.g. to a closed port
AZ> !? With ICMP packet !?
Lots of Packetfilters answer with ICMP Administravtively Prohibited,
sometimes also leaking their internal IP address by the way..  It is a
common way to respond every IP stack I know about will understand that
message.

AZ> No, it has to answer with an RST.
Answering with ICMP is fine, possible and in the wild.
