Abstract:
The ICMP Extension Structure does not have a length field.
Therefore, unless the length of the Extension Structure can be
inferred from other data in the ICMP message, the Extension Structure
must be the last item in the ICMP message.
This document defines a length field for the ICMP Extension
Structure. When length information is provided, receivers can use it
to parse ICMP messages. Specifically, receivers can use length
information to determine the offset at which the item after the ICMP
Extension Structure begins.
