Abstract
The current ICMP 'Destination Unreachable - Communication Administratively Prohibited' message conveys one bit of information: the gateway is administratively filtering your packets. This memo proposes the addition of an ICMP 'Authentication Required' response to provide the more specific message that packets are being administratively prohibited until successful authentication.
