of course, simpletons such as i would desire the source of the time exceeded message to be A. after all, this is the interface to which i sent the icmp with the TTL to expire.
Do you mean the source address or the source interface?
the source address
I'm not sure if you mean that, if sent through C it should have the source addres of A, or that it should actually be sent through A regardless of the routing table (which sounds better to me).
not to me. i have kinda grown used to fibs randy
