Rolf,

In Section 3, you say that the that the Traceroute Request has the following 
type values:


  *
ICMPv4: Value 8
  *
ICMPv6: Value 128

This means that the Traceroute Request is the ICMP Echo message, as defined in 
RFC 792.

 Likewise, you say that the that the Traceroute Response message has the 
following type values:


  *
ICMPv4: Value 0
  *
ICMPv6: Value 129

This means that the Traceroute Response is the ICMP Echo reply message, as 
defined in RFC 792.

Sadly, neither of these messages are extensible. See Section 4 of RFC 4884 for 
details.

You can avoid this problem by using the ICMP Extended Echo Request and Extended 
Echo Reply instead. See Sections 2 and 3 of RC 8335 for details.

                                                                          Ron

Dear Int-Area WG,

we just updated the Stateless Reverse Traceroute document.
