ICMPv6 Type 1 Code 5 and 6 missing in iptables REJECT target and icmpv6 match

[Andreas Herz <andi@geekosphere.org>]

Hi,

as i read the RFC 7084 i found the following suggestion:

> L-14:   The IPv6 CE router MUST send an ICMPv6 Destination Unreachable
>         message, code 5 (Source address failed ingress/egress policy)
>         for packets forwarded to it that use an address from a prefix
>         that has been invalidated.

And in RFC 4443 they are defined as:

> 5 - Source address failed ingress/egress policy
> 6 - Reject route to destination

Is there a reason for that?

If i look into the "extensions/libip6t_icmp6.c" i just see the codes 0,1,2,3,4
for type 1. And in "include/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6t_REJECT.h" it's
"IP6T_ICMP6_ECHOREPLY" which doesnt' sound like the one in the RFC.

Or is it just missing, so i might add it?

Thanks
