The network element replies with Source Quench Received? That doesn't make sense unless you SENT it a Source Quench. You're probably seeing the result of what it sent which was a Source Quench, not Source Quench Received. > Appreciate for > advices, thanks! > > What is the network element?? There's probably no easy way to get it to stop sending a Source Quench other than to stop bugging it with your ICMP messages. It's probably built into the operating system on the "network element" to send "source quench" when too many messages of a certain type are received. Mac OS used to do this. I don't know what other OSs do it, but if you tell us the OS maybe there's a registry change or something. Per RFC 1821, routers should not send source quench, but end hosts still can per RFC 1122. It's not anything to worry about. You should probably just ignore it.
