I'd be very interested in any comments on this draft. It suggests extending primarily ICMP TTL Exceeded messages for better troubleshooting with unnumbered interfaces. The additional information potentially included are an interface ifIndex and an interface description string.
Thanks!

Title : ICMP Extensions for Unnumbered Interfaces Author(s) : A. Atlas, et al. Filename : draft-atlas-icmp-unnumbered-00.txt Pages : 8 Date : 2005-12-12 This memo defines extensions to ICMP that permit identification of unnumbered interfaces. The interface the IP packet was received upon can be identified by appending an ifIndex and/or a string describing the interface. These extensions are defined to facilitate troubleshooting in network with unnumbered interfaces and parallel links.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft. _______________________________________________ I-D-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/i-d-announce _______________________________________________ Int-area mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/int-area
