messages send by routers when they deny our traffic, this causes
a timeout when trying to connect to TCP ports/services on a remote
host, which is blocked by routers or firewalls.
rfc1122 (Requirements for Internet Hosts) section 3.2.2.1 actually
requi re that we treat such a message for a TCP session, that we
treat it like if we had recieved a RST.
quote begin.
A Destination Unreachable message that is received MUST be
reported to the transport layer. The transport layer SHOULD
use the information appropriately; for example, see Sections
4.1.3.3, 4.2.3.9, and 4.2.4 below. A transport protocol
that has its own mechanism for notifying the sender that a
port is unreachable (e.g., TCP, which sends RST segments)
MUST nevertheless accept an ICMP Port Unreachable for the
same purpose.
quote end.
I've written a small extension that implement this, it also create
a sysctl "net.inet.tcp.icmp_admin_prohib_like_rst" to control if
this new behaviour is activated.
When it's activated (set to 1) we'll treat a ICMP administratively
prohibited message (icmp type 3 code 9, 10 and 13) for a TCP
sessions, as if we recived a TCP RST, but only if the TCP session
is in SYN_SENT state.
The reason for only reacting when in SYN_SENT state, is that this
will solve the problem, and at the same time minimize the risk of
this being abused.
I suggest that we enable this new behaviour by default, but it
would be a change of current behaviour, so if people prefer to
leave it disabled by default, at least for now, this would be ok
for me, the attached diff actually have the sysctl set to 0 by
default.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you have to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
