From e77501695957f838b115572106d768f58cb11433 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Chernavin Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2020 06:45:47 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ip6: during icmp to icmp6 translation truncate error messages All translated ICMPv6 packets that exceed the minimal IPv6 MTU get truncated but according to RFC 4443 2.4 only ICMPv6 error messages (type < 128) need to be truncated. With this commit, truncate only ICMPv6 error messages.
