protocol type field is not recognized by the system.
not a gateway... Packets can not be routed; the host/network is unreachable.
security failures... Counts the number of received unicast/multicast packets
that could not be forwarded due to:

host/network is unreachable

repeats the request three times. These packets are counted
in encapsulation failed.
Rcvd:
...short packets The number of bytes in the packet are too small.
...bad length The length of the packet was not correct.
