Hi,

we have submitted an ID for the 84th IETF meeting, here is a quick summary:

ICMP is a key protocol to exchange control and error messages over the 
Internet.  Unfortunately it is frequent that some routers along a given 
path do not correctly process this protocol.  This document provides a 
taxonomy of the problem in order to help an end user who suspects 
ICMP-related problems to better understand the situation, and possibly 
identify the faulty router(s).

2 usefull links if you are interested:

Feedbacks are welcome.

Cheers,
Ludovic.
