Well, that is emphatically *NOT* what application developers do. They do not just observe that it does not work, they try to work around, e.g. routing messages to a different address, at a different time, through a third party, or through a different protocol. Silently dropping packets is certainly not the right way to get an application to stop trying. ICMP messages won't achieve that either: since ICMP is insecure, it is routinely ignored. Which actually poses an interesting question: when should an application just give up? IMHO, there is only one clear-cut case, i.e. when the application actually contacted the peer and obtained an explicit statement that the planned exchange should not take place -- the equivalent of a 4XX or 5XX error in SMTP or HTTP. -- Christian Huitema
