Have you tried NetPacket::ICMP? I have used this module before to
decode ICMP packets and get data based on their ICMP code. ICMP_UNREACH

application data. (I will however, investigate further.)<br></div><div><br>... snip ...<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
