Hi all,

Does someone knows if, when receiving back an icmp message, the option of
the original ip packets are in the payload of the icmp ?

The icmp rfc says:
"
 Internet Header + 64 bits of Data Datagram

      The internet header plus the first 64 bits of the original
      datagram's data.  This data is used by the host to match the
      message to the appropriate process.  If a higher level protocol
      uses port numbers, they are assumed to be in the first 64 data
      bits of the original datagram's data.
"

I know that the ip header of this icmp message IP option management is
specified in the IP RFC, bug what about the option of the originating
message ?

Thanks,

JeF
