However, the point is whether the portability issue is serious enough to require a revision of RFC3542. Different people may have different opinions on this, and I personally don't think it's big enough. As someone else in this thread pointed out, this type of issue can always happen when the IETF standardizes any new ICMP types/codes, extension header identifier (the number of the "next header" field"), whatever. Clearly, we cannot update the API specification every time we see this type of event, so we need to make a consensus on how serious the related portability issue is. If others agree on the severity, I won't oppose to the conclusion. JINMEI, Tatuya Communication Platform Lab. Corporate R&D Center, Toshiba Corp.
