B.33 reject.*

2 min read

Every field the catalogue defines under reject, in path order. Each entry gives the field's definition and, under Carried by, every event type that writes it.

B.33.1 reject.delivered-to #

  • Type: str.enum
  • Values: wire · self
  • Set: closed
  • Asserted: no
  • Carried in: the payload
  • Defined in: ntfe.evman

Where NTFE sent a refusal. wire answers the remote peer on the link, from the ingress seat. self routes the answer back into this machine, from every other seat, so the stack fails the local socket at once rather than leaving it to time out.

Carried by:

No event carries this field yet.

B.33.2 reject.packet #

  • Type: str.enum
  • Values: tcp-reset · icmp-port-unreachable · icmp-admin-prohibited
  • Set: closed
  • Asserted: no
  • Carried in: the payload
  • Defined in: ntfe.evman

The packet NTFE built to deliver a refusal: a TCP reset for refused TCP, an ICMP or ICMPv6 port-unreachable for refused anything else, or an ICMP or ICMPv6 administratively-prohibited for every prohibited refusal. It decides what the refused program sees: ECONNREFUSED for a reset or a port-unreachable, EHOSTUNREACH for an IPv4 prohibition, and EACCES for an IPv6 one. Absent when the REJECT degraded to a DROP.
