Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-6man-icmp-limits-05.txt

Hi Tom,

The new draft looks good.
I read through the whole document again, and I ended up finding myself unclear of a couple of points:

- when is the destination unreachable "ICMPv6 error for aggregate header limits" used versus e.g. the "parameter problem, extenshion header chain too long"?
- what is the logic that determines when a parameter problem type versus a destination unreachable type is used?

Best regards,
Ole
