If the router can know that they are error messages and can also know,
e.g., that the errors are arriving at a disproportionally high rate with
respect to the IPv6 packets that could have possibly generated them,
then it should perform rate limiting. (That would be per-interface
rate limiting, I suppose.)
If the router starts looking the protocol type field in the IPv6
header and behave differently for each type of packet, IMHO it will become a firewall or a packet filter :)
Please re-read my message; I did not say that the router must look at IPv6 headers to identify and distinguish error messages.
Thanks - Fred [EMAIL PROTECTED]
