Usage guidelines
A device sends ICMP time-exceeded packets by following these rules:
• If a received packet is not destined for the device and the TTL field of the packet is 1, the device
sends an ICMP "TTL expired in transit" packet to the source.
• When the device receives the first fragment of an IP datagram destined for the device itself, it starts
a timer. If the timer expires before all the fragments of the datagram are received, the device sends
an ICMP "fragment reassembly timeout" packet to the source.
A device disabled from sending ICMP time-exceeded packets does not send ICMP "TTL expired" packets
but can still send ICMP "fragment reassembly timeout" packets.
