Handling ICMP Unreachable Errors
For different levels of security, the default behavior
for ICMP unreachable errors from downstream Juniper Networks device
is handled as follows:
- Sessions do not close for ICMP type-3 code-4 messages.
ICMP messages pass through without dropping sessions.
Packets are, however, dropped per session.
- Sessions do not close on receiving any kind of ICMP unreachable
messages.
- Sessions store ICMP unreachable message, thereby restricting
the number of messages flowing through to 1.
One ICMP unreachable message is generated globally
per router. The remaining ICMP unreachable errors are dropped.
