If the reason for the failure to deliver is administrative
prohibition, e.g., a "firewall filter", the Code field is set to 1.
If the reason for the failure to deliver is that packets with this
source address is not allowed due to ingress filtering policies, the
Code field is set to 5.
If the reason for the failure to deliver is that the route to the
destination is a reject route, the Code field is set to 6. This may
occur if the router has been configured to reject all the traffic for
a specific prefix.
Isn't a reject route just a simple type of firewall/administrative
prohibition? Likewise for ingress filtering?
Is the intent to distinguish between "packet was dropped because
policy says packets from that source should be dropped" and "packet
was dropped because policy says that packets to that destination
should be dropped"?
