Well, the normal scenario is this:
A sends a packet to B to a closed port
B sends imcp dest port unreach. The icmp dest port unreach has:
source: B, dest: A, and as the payload 64 bytes (in case of linux) of the
offending packets (there we see that A send that packet to B to a closed
port)

The NEW scenario is this:
A sends a packet to B to a closed port
B sends icmp and changes the IP to a fake one.
A receives the icmp, and says:
hey, i did not send packets to 'fake IP', this is a mistake-->DROP

or is it not this way?
