        Title           : ICMPv6 errors for discarding packets due to processing limits

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
   document defines 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 be able to
   modify what it sends in future packets to avoid subsequent packet
   discards.
