SOURCE QUENCH:
The Source Quench message is used when IP needs to
perform congestion control. An intermediate router or
the destination host unsually sends an ICMP Source
Quench message for every datagram that it has to drop.
The source, on receiving the Source Quench message,
loweres the rate
RFC 1812, "Requirements for IPv4 Routers," deprecates use of source
quench. While you will see it on some exams and should know the
definition, source quench is not used as a congestion management
approach in modern networks.

Macintoshes send source quench when you repeatedly ping them. I've never
seen any router send it. I think routers phased out source quench many
years ago. Macs are the only end nodes I have seen use it. They have to be
different, you know! &;-)
