ICMP ingress/egress filtering

Subject: ICMP ingress/egress filtering
Date: Tue, 23 May 2006 05:24:16 -0300
Folks,

Some time ago I had written an explanation about filtering of ICMP error messages for some friend of mine. Given that there seems to be some confusion on the subject (that's the discussion I get from discussions in other forums), I have made the text publicly available.

You can find it at: http://www.gont.com.ar/papers/icmp-errors

The orginial paper on ICMP attacks (which includes a section on ICMP filtering) can be obtained at: http://www.gont.com.ar/drafts/icmp-attacks-against-tcp.html

(The last revision was published in February 2006)

Kindest regards,
