Subject: ICMP and connection tracking
Date: Thu, 20 May 2004 10:06:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40ACC986.8060103@pbl.ca> (raw)
Are ICMP packets related to new and established TCP connections and UDP
traffic considered to be part of them, or do I need to have explicit
rules like
-A INPUT -p icmp -m state --state RELATED -j ACCEPT
for things like path MTU discovery, traceroute, ICMP port unreachables,
and so on to work properly?
Any downsides of using generic rule like above (if it is needed)?
