Abstract:
   Network nodes may discard packets if they are unable to process
   protocol headers of packets due to processing constraints or limits.
   When such packets are dropped, the sender receives no indication so
   it cannot take action to address the cause of discarded packets.
   This specification defines several new ICMPv6 errors that can be sent
   by a node that discards packets because it is unable to process the
   protocol headers.  A node that receives such an ICMPv6 error may use
   the information to diagnose packet loss and may modify what it sends
   in future packets to avoid subsequent packet discards.
