System: NetBSD vader.runit.sintef.no 1.2G NetBSD 1.2G (VADER) #5: Wed Aug 20 19:47:38 MEST 1997 he@vader.runit.sintef.no:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/VADER i386
>Description:
traceroute in NetBSD-current doesn't know how to handle
"ICMP Unreachable, communication administratively prohibited",
as defined in RFC 1716. As a result, if you hit one of these,
traceroute just gets the ICMPs from the filtering router and
does not stop the traceroute at that point.
>How-To-Repeat:
traceroute www.belnet.be
>Fix:
The attached code was loosely adapted from the FreeBSD 2.2.2 version.
Most routers rate-limit ICMP Unreach messages, the test to terminate
below works for the default of 3 probes, but probably won't for 5
probes.
Remaining problem: The ICMP codes should be documented in the man page.
