+Credit Based Shaper (Qav Mode)
+------------------------------
+When enabling the CBS qdisc in the hardware offload mode, traffic shaping using
+the CBS (described in the IEEE 802.1Q-2018 Section 8.6.8.2 and discussed in the
+Annex L) algorithm will run in the i210 controller, so it's more accurate and
+uses less CPU.
+
+When using offloaded CBS, and the traffic rate obeys the configured rate
+(doesn't go above it), CBS should have little to no effect in the latency.
+
+The offloaded version of the algorithm has some limits, caused by how the idle
+slope is expressed in the adapter's registers. It can only represent idle slopes
+in 16.38431 kbps units, which means that if a idle slope of 2576kbps is
+requested, the controller will be configured to use a idle slope of ~2589 kbps,
+because the driver rounds the value up. For more details, see the comments on
+:c:func:`igb_config_tx_modes()`.
+
+NOTE: This feature is exclusive to i210 models.

+wouldn't be counted to TcpExtTCPRcvCoalesce.

+
+* TcpExtListenOverflows and TcpExtListenDrops
+When kernel receives a SYN from a client, and if the TCP accept queue
+is full, kernel will drop the SYN and add 1 to TcpExtListenOverflows.
+At the same time kernel will also add 1 to TcpExtListenDrops. When a
+TCP socket is in LISTEN state, and kernel need to drop a packet,
+kernel would always add 1 to TcpExtListenDrops. So increase
+TcpExtListenOverflows would let TcpExtListenDrops increasing at the

+TcpExtListenOverflows increasing, e.g. a memory allocation fail would
+also let TcpExtListenDrops increase.
+
+Note: The above explanation is based on kernel 4.10 or above version, on
+an old kernel, the TCP stack has different behavior when TCP accept
+queue is full. On the old kernel, TCP stack won't drop the SYN, it
+would complete the 3-way handshake. As the accept queue is full, TCP
+stack will keep the socket in the TCP half-open queue. As it is in the
+half open queue, TCP stack will send SYN+ACK on an exponential backoff
+timer, after client replies ACK, TCP stack checks whether the accept
+queue is still full, if it is not full, moves the socket to the accept
+queue, if it is full, keeps the socket in the half-open queue, at next
+time client replies ACK, this socket will get another chance to move
+to the accept queue.
+
+
+TCP Fast Open
+============
+When kernel receives a TCP packet, it has two paths to handler the
+packet, one is fast path, another is slow path. The comment in kernel
+code provides a good explanation of them, I pasted them below::
+
+ It is split into a fast path and a slow path. The fast path is
+ disabled when:
+
+ - A zero window was announced from us
+ - zero window probing
+ is only handled properly on the slow path.
+ - Out of order segments arrived.
+ - Urgent data is expected.
+ - There is no buffer space left
+ - Unexpected TCP flags/window values/header lengths are received
+ (detected by checking the TCP header against pred_flags)
+ - Data is sent in both directions. The fast path only supports pure senders
+ or pure receivers (this means either the sequence number or the ack
+ value must stay constant)
+ - Unexpected TCP option.
+
+Kernel will try to use fast path unless any of the above conditions
+are satisfied. If the packets are out of order, kernel will handle
+them in slow path, which means the performance might be not very
+good. Kernel would also come into slow path if the "Delayed ack" is
+used, because when using "Delayed ack", the data is sent in both
+directions. When the TCP window scale option is not used, kernel will
+try to enable fast path immediately when the connection comes into the
+established state, but if the TCP window scale option is used, kernel
+will disable the fast path at first, and try to enable it after kernel
+receives packets.
+
+* TcpExtTCPPureAcks and TcpExtTCPHPAcks
+If a packet set ACK flag and has no data, it is a pure ACK packet, if
+kernel handles it in the fast path, TcpExtTCPHPAcks will increase 1,
+if kernel handles it in the slow path, TcpExtTCPPureAcks will
+increase 1.
+
+* TcpExtTCPHPHits
+If a TCP packet has data (which means it is not a pure ACK packet),
+and this packet is handled in the fast path, TcpExtTCPHPHits will
+increase 1.
+
+
+TCP abort
+========
+
+
+* TcpExtTCPAbortOnData
+It means TCP layer has data in flight, but need to close the
+connection. So TCP layer sends a RST to the other side, indicate the
+connection is not closed very graceful. An easy way to increase this
+counter is using the SO_LINGER option. Please refer to the SO_LINGER
+section of the `socket man page`_:
+
+.. _socket man page: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html
+
+By default, when an application closes a connection, the close function
+will return immediately and kernel will try to send the in-flight data
+async. If you use the SO_LINGER option, set l_onoff to 1, and l_linger
+to a positive number, the close function won't return immediately, but
+wait for the in-flight data are acked by the other side, the max wait
+time is l_linger seconds. If set l_onoff to 1 and set l_linger to 0,
+when the application closes a connection, kernel will send a RST
+immediately and increase the TcpExtTCPAbortOnData counter.
+
+* TcpExtTCPAbortOnClose
+This counter means the application has unread data in the TCP layer when
+the application wants to close the TCP connection. In such a situation,
+kernel will send a RST to the other side of the TCP connection.
+
+* TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory
+When an application closes a TCP connection, kernel still need to track
+the connection, let it complete the TCP disconnect process. E.g. an
+app calls the close method of a socket, kernel sends fin to the other
+side of the connection, then the app has no relationship with the
+socket any more, but kernel need to keep the socket, this socket
+becomes an orphan socket, kernel waits for the reply of the other side,
+and would come to the TIME_WAIT state finally. When kernel has no
+enough memory to keep the orphan socket, kernel would send an RST to
+the other side, and delete the socket, in such situation, kernel will
+increase 1 to the TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory. Two conditions would trigger
+TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory:
+
+1. the memory used by the TCP protocol is higher than the third value of
+the tcp_mem. Please refer the tcp_mem section in the `TCP man page`_:
+
+.. _TCP man page: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/tcp.7.html
+
+2. the orphan socket count is higher than net.ipv4.tcp_max_orphans
+
+
+* TcpExtTCPAbortOnTimeout
+This counter will increase when any of the TCP timers expire. In such
+situation, kernel won't send RST, just give up the connection.
+
+* TcpExtTCPAbortOnLinger
+When a TCP connection comes into FIN_WAIT_2 state, instead of waiting
+for the fin packet from the other side, kernel could send a RST and
+delete the socket immediately. This is not the default behavior of
+Linux kernel TCP stack. By configuring the TCP_LINGER2 socket option,
+you could let kernel follow this behavior.
+
+* TcpExtTCPAbortFailed
+The kernel TCP layer will send RST if the `RFC2525 2.17 section`_ is
+satisfied. If an internal error occurs during this process,
+TcpExtTCPAbortFailed will be increased.
+
+.. _RFC2525 2.17 section: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2525#page-50
+
+TCP Hybrid Slow Start
+====================
+The Hybrid Slow Start algorithm is an enhancement of the traditional
+TCP congestion window Slow Start algorithm. It uses two pieces of
+information to detect whether the max bandwidth of the TCP path is
+approached. The two pieces of information are ACK train length and
+increase in packet delay. For detail information, please refer the
+`Hybrid Slow Start paper`_. Either ACK train length or packet delay
+hits a specific threshold, the congestion control algorithm will come
+into the Congestion Avoidance state. Until v4.20, two congestion
+control algorithms are using Hybrid Slow Start, they are cubic (the
+default congestion control algorithm) and cdg. Four snmp counters
+relate with the Hybrid Slow Start algorithm.
+
+.. _Hybrid Slow Start paper: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/25e9/ef3f03315782c7f1cbcd31b587857adae7d1.pdf
+
+* TcpExtTCPHystartTrainDetect
+How many times the ACK train length threshold is detected
+
+* TcpExtTCPHystartTrainCwnd
+The sum of CWND detected by ACK train length. Dividing this value by
+TcpExtTCPHystartTrainDetect is the average CWND which detected by the
+ACK train length.
+
+* TcpExtTCPHystartDelayDetect
+How many times the packet delay threshold is detected.
+
+* TcpExtTCPHystartDelayCwnd
+The sum of CWND detected by packet delay. Dividing this value by
+TcpExtTCPHystartDelayDetect is the average CWND which detected by the
+packet delay.
+
+TCP retransmission and congestion control
+======================================
+The TCP protocol has two retransmission mechanisms: SACK and fast
+recovery. They are exclusive with each other. When SACK is enabled,
+the kernel TCP stack would use SACK, or kernel would use fast
+recovery. The SACK is a TCP option, which is defined in `RFC2018`_,
+the fast recovery is defined in `RFC6582`_, which is also called
+'Reno'.
+
+The TCP congestion control is a big and complex topic. To understand
+the related snmp counter, we need to know the states of the congestion
+control state machine. There are 5 states: Open, Disorder, CWR,
+Recovery and Loss. For details about these states, please refer page 5
+and page 6 of this document:
+https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/0e9c/968d09ab2e53e24c4dca5b2d67c7f7140f8e.pdf
+
+.. _RFC2018: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2018
+.. _RFC6582: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6582
+
+* TcpExtTCPRenoRecovery and TcpExtTCPSackRecovery
+When the congestion control comes into Recovery state, if sack is
+used, TcpExtTCPSackRecovery increases 1, if sack is not used,
+TcpExtTCPRenoRecovery increases 1. These two counters mean the TCP
+stack begins to retransmit the lost packets.
+
+* TcpExtTCPSACKReneging
+A packet was acknowledged by SACK, but the receiver has dropped this
+packet, so the sender needs to retransmit this packet. In this
+situation, the sender adds 1 to TcpExtTCPSACKReneging. A receiver
+could drop a packet which has been acknowledged by SACK, although it is
+unusual, it is allowed by the TCP protocol. The sender doesn't really
+know what happened on the receiver side. The sender just waits until
+the RTO expires for this packet, then the sender assumes this packet
+has been dropped by the receiver.
+
+* TcpExtTCPRenoReorder
+The reorder packet is detected by fast recovery. It would only be used
+if SACK is disabled. The fast recovery algorithm detects recorder by
+the duplicate ACK number. E.g., if retransmission is triggered, and
+the original retransmitted packet is not lost, it is just out of
+order, the receiver would acknowledge multiple times, one for the
+retransmitted packet, another for the arriving of the original out of
+order packet. Thus the sender would find more ACks than its
+expectation, and the sender knows out of order occurs.
+
+* TcpExtTCPTSReorder
+The reorder packet is detected when a hole is filled. E.g., assume the
+sender sends packet 1,2,3,4,5, and the receiving order is
+1,2,4,5,3. When the sender receives the ACK of packet 3 (which will
+fill the hole), two conditions will let TcpExtTCPTSReorder increase
+1: (1) if the packet 3 is not re-retransmitted yet. (2) if the packet
+3 is retransmitted but the timestamp of the packet 3's ACK is earlier
+than the retransmission timestamp.
+
+* TcpExtTCPSACKReorder
+The reorder packet detected by SACK. The SACK has two methods to
+detect reorder: (1) DSACK is received by the sender. It means the
+sender sends the same packet more than one times. And the only reason
+is the sender believes an out of order packet is lost so it sends the
+packet again. (2) Assume packet 1,2,3,4,5 are sent by the sender, and
+the sender has received SACKs for packet 2 and 5, now the sender
+receives SACK for packet 4 and the sender doesn't retransmit the
+packet yet, the sender would know packet 4 is out of order. The TCP
+stack of kernel will increase TcpExtTCPSACKReorder for both of the
+above scenarios.
+
+
+DSACK
+=====
+The DSACK is defined in `RFC2883`_. The receiver uses DSACK to report
+duplicate packets to the sender. There are two kinds of
+duplications: (1) a packet which has been acknowledged is
+duplicate. (2) an out of order packet is duplicate. The TCP stack
+counts these two kinds of duplications on both receiver side and
+sender side.
+
+.. _RFC2883 : https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2883
+
+* TcpExtTCPDSACKOldSent
+The TCP stack receives a duplicate packet which has been acked, so it
+sends a DSACK to the sender.
+
+* TcpExtTCPDSACKOfoSent
+The TCP stack receives an out of order duplicate packet, so it sends a
+DSACK to the sender.
+
+* TcpExtTCPDSACKRecv
+The TCP stack receives a DSACK, which indicate an acknowledged
+duplicate packet is received.
+
+* TcpExtTCPDSACKOfoRecv
+The TCP stack receives a DSACK, which indicate an out of order
+duplciate packet is received.

+
+The server listened on tcp 9000 port, the client connected to it, they
+completed the 3-way handshake.
+
+On server side, we can find below nstat output::

+
+When the server received the first SYN, it replied a SYN+ACK, and came into

+Compare the first client-side nstat and the second client-side nstat,
+we could find one difference: the first one had a 'TcpExtTCPPureAcks',
+but the second one had a 'TcpExtTCPHPAcks'. The first server-side
+nstat and the second server-side nstat had a difference too: the
+second server-side nstat had a TcpExtTCPHPHits, but the first
+server-side nstat didn't have it. The network traffic patterns were
+exactly the same: the client sent a packet to the server, the server
+replied an ACK. But kernel handled them in different ways. When the
+TCP window scale option is not used, kernel will try to enable fast
+path immediately when the connection comes into the established state,
+but if the TCP window scale option is used, kernel will disable the
+fast path at first, and try to enable it after kerenl receives
+packets. We could use the 'ss' command to verify whether the window
+scale option is used. e.g. run below command on either server or
+client::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ ss -o state established -i '( dport = :9000 or sport = :9000 )
+ Netid Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port

+
+The 'wscale:7,7' means both server and client set the window scale
+option to 7. Now we could explain the nstat output in our test:
+
+In the first nstat output of client side, the client sent a packet, server
+reply an ACK, when kernel handled this ACK, the fast path was not
+enabled, so the ACK was counted into 'TcpExtTCPPureAcks'.
+
+In the second nstat output of client side, the client sent a packet again,
+and received another ACK from the server, in this time, the fast path is
+enabled, and the ACK was qualified for fast path, so it was handled by
+the fast path, so this ACK was counted into TcpExtTCPHPAcks.
+
+In the first nstat output of server side, fast path was not enabled,
+so there was no 'TcpExtTCPHPHits'.
+
+In the second nstat output of server side, the fast path was enabled,
+and the packet received from client qualified for fast path, so it
+was counted into 'TcpExtTCPHPHits'.
+
+TcpExtTCPAbortOnClose
+--------------------
+On the server side, we run below python script::
+
+ import socket
+ import time
+
+ port = 9000
+
+ s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
+ s.bind(('0.0.0.0', port))
+ s.listen(1)
+ sock, addr = s.accept()
+ while True:
+ time.sleep(9999999)
+
+This python script listen on 9000 port, but doesn't read anything from
+the connection.
+
+On the client side, we send the string "hello" by nc::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ echo "hello" | nc nstat-b 9000
+
+Then, we come back to the server side, the server has received the "hello"
+packet, and the TCP layer has acked this packet, but the application didn't
+read it yet. We type Ctrl-C to terminate the server script. Then we
+could find TcpExtTCPAbortOnClose increased 1 on the server side::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-b:~$ nstat | grep -i abort
+ TcpExtTCPAbortOnClose 1 0.0
+
+If we run tcpdump on the server side, we could find the server sent a
+RST after we type Ctrl-C.
+
+TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory and TcpExtTCPAbortOnTimeout
+-----------------------------------------------
+Below is an example which let the orphan socket count be higher than
+net.ipv4.tcp_max_orphans.
+Change tcp_max_orphans to a smaller value on client::
+
+ sudo bash -c "echo 10 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_orphans"
+
+Client code (create 64 connection to server)::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ cat client_orphan.py
+ import socket
+ import time
+
+ server = 'nstat-b' # server address
+ port = 9000
+
+ count = 64
+
+ connection_list = []
+
+ for i in range(64):
+ s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
+ s.connect((server, port))
+ connection_list.append(s)
+ print("connection_count: %d" % len(connection_list))
+
+ while True:
+ time.sleep(99999)
+
+Server code (accept 64 connection from client)::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-b:~$ cat server_orphan.py
+ import socket
+ import time
+
+ port = 9000
+ count = 64
+
+ s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
+ s.bind(('0.0.0.0', port))
+ s.listen(count)
+ connection_list = []
+ while True:
+ sock, addr = s.accept()
+ connection_list.append((sock, addr))
+ print("connection_count: %d" % len(connection_list))
+
+Run the python scripts on server and client.
+
+On server::
+
+ python3 server_orphan.py
+
+On client::
+
+ python3 client_orphan.py
+
+Run iptables on server::
+
+ sudo iptables -A INPUT -i ens3 -p tcp --destination-port 9000 -j DROP
+
+Type Ctrl-C on client, stop client_orphan.py.
+
+Check TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory on client::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ nstat | grep -i abort
+ TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory 54 0.0
+
+Check orphane socket count on client::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ ss -s
+ Total: 131 (kernel 0)
+ TCP: 14 (estab 1, closed 0, orphaned 10, synrecv 0, timewait 0/0), ports 0
+
+ Transport Total IP IPv6
+ * 0 - -
+ RAW 1 0 1
+ UDP 1 1 0
+ TCP 14 13 1
+ INET 16 14 2
+ FRAG 0 0 0
+
+The explanation of the test: after run server_orphan.py and
+client_orphan.py, we set up 64 connections between server and
+client. Run the iptables command, the server will drop all packets from
+the client, type Ctrl-C on client_orphan.py, the system of the client
+would try to close these connections, and before they are closed
+gracefully, these connections became orphan sockets. As the iptables
+of the server blocked packets from the client, the server won't receive fin
+from the client, so all connection on clients would be stuck on FIN_WAIT_1
+stage, so they will keep as orphan sockets until timeout. We have echo
+10 to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_orphans, so the client system would
+only keep 10 orphan sockets, for all other orphan sockets, the client
+system sent RST for them and delete them. We have 64 connections, so
+the 'ss -s' command shows the system has 10 orphan sockets, and the
+value of TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory was 54.
+
+An additional explanation about orphan socket count: You could find the
+exactly orphan socket count by the 'ss -s' command, but when kernel
+decide whither increases TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory and sends RST, kernel
+doesn't always check the exactly orphan socket count. For increasing
+performance, kernel checks an approximate count firstly, if the
+approximate count is more than tcp_max_orphans, kernel checks the
+exact count again. So if the approximate count is less than
+tcp_max_orphans, but exactly count is more than tcp_max_orphans, you
+would find TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory is not increased at all. If
+tcp_max_orphans is large enough, it won't occur, but if you decrease
+tcp_max_orphans to a small value like our test, you might find this
+issue. So in our test, the client set up 64 connections although the
+tcp_max_orphans is 10. If the client only set up 11 connections, we
+can't find the change of TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory.
+
+Continue the previous test, we wait for several minutes. Because of the
+iptables on the server blocked the traffic, the server wouldn't receive
+fin, and all the client's orphan sockets would timeout on the
+FIN_WAIT_1 state finally. So we wait for a few minutes, we could find
+10 timeout on the client::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ nstat | grep -i abort
+ TcpExtTCPAbortOnTimeout 10 0.0

+TcpExtTCPRcvCoalesce
+-------------------
+On the server, we run a program which listen on TCP port 9000, but
+doesn't read any data::
+
+ import socket
+ import time
+ port = 9000
+ s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
+ s.bind(('0.0.0.0', port))
+ s.listen(1)
+ sock, addr = s.accept()
+ while True:
+ time.sleep(9999999)
+
+Save the above code as server_coalesce.py, and run::
+
+ python3 server_coalesce.py
+
+On the client, save below code as client_coalesce.py::
+
+ import socket
+ server = 'nstat-b'
+ port = 9000
+ s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
+ s.connect((server, port))
+
+Run::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ python3 -i client_coalesce.py
+
+We use '-i' to come into the interactive mode, then a packet::
+
+ >>> s.send(b'foo')
+ 3
+
+Send a packet again::
+
+ >>> s.send(b'bar')
+ 3
+
+On the server, run nstat::
+
+ ubuntu@nstat-b:~$ nstat
+ #kernel
+ IpInReceives 2 0.0
+ IpInDelivers 2 0.0
+ IpOutRequests 2 0.0
+ TcpInSegs 2 0.0
+ TcpOutSegs 2 0.0
+ TcpExtTCPRcvCoalesce 1 0.0
+ IpExtInOctets 110 0.0
+ IpExtOutOctets 104 0.0
+ IpExtInNoECTPkts 2 0.0
+
+The client sent two packets, server didn't read any data. When
+the second packet arrived at server, the first packet was still in
+the receiving queue. So the TCP layer merged the two packets, and we
+could find the TcpExtTCPRcvCoalesce increased 1.
+
+TcpExtListenOverflows and TcpExtListenDrops
+----------------------------------------
+On server, run the nc command, listen on port 9000::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-b:~$ nc -lkv 0.0.0.0 9000
+ Listening on [0.0.0.0] (family 0, port 9000)
+
+On client, run 3 nc commands in different terminals::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ nc -v nstat-b 9000
+ Connection to nstat-b 9000 port [tcp/*] succeeded!
+
+The nc command only accepts 1 connection, and the accept queue length
+is 1. On current linux implementation, set queue length to n means the
+actual queue length is n+1. Now we create 3 connections, 1 is accepted
+by nc, 2 in accepted queue, so the accept queue is full.
+
+Before running the 4th nc, we clean the nstat history on the server::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-b:~$ nstat -n
+
+Run the 4th nc on the client::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ nc -v nstat-b 9000
+
+If the nc server is running on kernel 4.10 or higher version, you
+won't see the "Connection to ... succeeded!" string, because kernel
+will drop the SYN if the accept queue is full. If the nc client is running
+on an old kernel, you would see that the connection is succeeded,
+because kernel would complete the 3 way handshake and keep the socket
+on half open queue. I did the test on kernel 4.15. Below is the nstat
+on the server::
+
+ nstatuser@nstat-b:~$ nstat
+ #kernel
+ IpInReceives 4 0.0
+ IpInDelivers 4 0.0
+ TcpInSegs 4 0.0
+ TcpExtListenOverflows 4 0.0
+ TcpExtListenDrops 4 0.0
+ IpExtInOctets 240 0.0
+ IpExtInNoECTPkts 4 0.0
+
+Both TcpExtListenOverflows and TcpExtListenDrops were 4. If the time
+between the 4th nc and the nstat was longer, the value of
+TcpExtListenOverflows and TcpExtListenDrops would be larger, because
+the SYN of the 4th nc was dropped, the client was retrying.
+
+IpInAddrErrors, IpExtInNoRoutes and IpOutNoRoutes
+----------------------------------------------
+server A IP address: 192.168.122.250
+server B IP address: 192.168.122.251
+Prepare on server A, add a route to server B::
+
+ $ sudo ip route add 8.8.8.8/32 via 192.168.122.251
+
+Prepare on server B, disable send_redirects for all interfaces::
+
+ $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects=0
+ $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.ens3.send_redirects=0
+ $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.lo.send_redirects=0
+ $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects=0
+
+We want to let sever A send a packet to 8.8.8.8, and route the packet
+to server B. When server B receives such packet, it might send a ICMP
+Redirect message to server A, set send_redirects to 0 will disable
+this behavior.
+
+First, generate InAddrErrors. On server B, we disable IP forwarding::
+
+ $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=0
+
+On server A, we send packets to 8.8.8.8::
+
+ $ nc -v 8.8.8.8 53
+
+On server B, we check the output of nstat::
+
+ $ nstat
+ #kernel
+ IpInReceives 3 0.0
+ IpInAddrErrors 3 0.0
+ IpExtInOctets 180 0.0
+ IpExtInNoECTPkts 3 0.0
+
+As we have let server A route 8.8.8.8 to server B, and we disabled IP
+forwarding on server B, Server A sent packets to server B, then server B
+dropped packets and increased IpInAddrErrors. As the nc command would
+re-send the SYN packet if it didn't receive a SYN+ACK, we could find
+multiple IpInAddrErrors.
+
+Second, generate IpExtInNoRoutes. On server B, we enable IP
+forwarding::
+
+ $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1
+
+Check the route table of server B and remove the default route::
+
+ $ ip route show
+ default via 192.168.122.1 dev ens3 proto static
+ 192.168.122.0/24 dev ens3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.251
+ $ sudo ip route delete default via 192.168.122.1 dev ens3 proto static
+
+On server A, we contact 8.8.8.8 again::
+
+ $ nc -v 8.8.8.8 53
+ nc: connect to 8.8.8.8 port 53 (tcp) failed: Network is unreachable
+
+On server B, run nstat::
+
+ $ nstat
+ #kernel
+ IpInReceives 1 0.0
+ IpOutRequests 1 0.0
+ IcmpOutMsgs 1 0.0
+ IcmpOutDestUnreachs 1 0.0
+ IcmpMsgOutType3 1 0.0
+ IpExtInNoRoutes 1 0.0
+ IpExtInOctets 60 0.0
+ IpExtOutOctets 88 0.0
+ IpExtInNoECTPkts 1 0.0
+
+We enabled IP forwarding on server B, when server B received a packet
+which destination IP address is 8.8.8.8, server B will try to forward
+this packet. We have deleted the default route, there was no route for
+8.8.8.8, so server B increase IpExtInNoRoutes and sent the "ICMP
+Destination Unreachable" message to server A.
+
+Third, generate IpOutNoRoutes. Run ping command on server B::
+
+ $ ping -c 1 8.8.8.8
+ connect: Network is unreachable
+
+Run nstat on server B::
+
+ $ nstat
+ #kernel
+ IpOutNoRoutes 1 0.0
+
+We have deleted the default route on server B. Server B couldn't find
+a route for the 8.8.8.8 IP address, so server B increased
+IpOutNoRoutes.
