Hello all,

I have a setup with 2 interfaces.

 *   MF -> internal interface -> input of packets and processing
 *   GTP -> (Lisp like interface -> just with UDP port 2152) output of packets 
after encapsulation over the UDP socket.

So the incoming packet gets encapsulated in an outer IPV6 header + UDP header 
and sent out. I do this over the flow table (I use a slightly adjusted OVS 
2.14).

These are both non-physical interfaces. The packet gets then routed to an ETH 
interface (not in OVS) and out.
I set max MTU on both of these interfaces.

The MTU of the ETH interface is set to 1500.

When I receive ICMPv6 messages, like "Packet too big", I see that the messages 
arrive in the loopback interface and are not forwarded to OVS.

I would like to implement an action based on this ICMPv6 message.

Currently, the easiest way, would be just to have an application listening on a 
raw socket to ICMPv6 messages and handle the Packet too big message.

Is there a better way to do this? I am confused.

Conntrack seems to do what I want. Can connection tracking be used to track 
ICMP messages related to outgoing UDP packets, and can I consider to use them 
instead of an own application listening on a raw socket?

I apologize for any confusion and thank you very much.
