I'd buy that, except that it wasn't a protocol error; the problem was entirely inside z/VM and TCPIP, in that a parameter was missing in the PROFILE TCPIP, which isn't part of any of the standards. If I put my UDP message out on the wire and it gets lost, I'll accept that. But if my own interface refuses the message before ever sending it, I think it might be useful to report that as an error, or at least log it in the TCPIP console log.
