Some time back, Ron noted that we did not have documented guidelines
for ICMP use, and the addition of new ICMP message types.  Carlos and
I just issued a revision of the AUP draft, and we're looking for
feedback: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-shore-icmp-aup-02.txt.  In a
nutshell we're stating that the two broad categories of messages which
are appropriate uses of ICMP are:

    1. forwarding plane anomaly notification
    2. on-link discovery

Thanks,

Melinda
