I don't wish to express an opinon regarding the correct behaviour, but |
10 |
from RFC1812 5.3.9 Packet Filtering and Access Lists we have: |
11 |
|
12 |
"The router MUST allow packets to be silently discarded (i.e., |
13 |
discarded without an ICMP error message being sent)." |
14 |
|

does this not explicting require routers to support dropping of packets? |
