Hi,

I believe we are missing two nexthops that are quite extensively used.

1. nexthop for which the associated ARP is in the stale state. These are 
special nexthops in the sense that in addition to forwarding traffic we must 
punt a copy to CPU so that the ARP can be refreshed.

2. nexthops associated IP interfaces created over vlans or VPLS services 
(extensively used). In this case the local route needs to point to a set of 
logical or virtual interfaces.

3. In Sec 2.4.5 the second bullet says:

"DISCARD_WITH_ERROR: This indicates that the network device should drop the 
packet, increment a drop counter and send back an appropriate error message 
(like ICMP error)."

Whats the ICMP error message that is being referred to here?

Cheers, Manav
