    icmp: add response to RFC 8335 PROBE messages · d329ea5b
    Andreas Roeseler authored
    Modify the icmp_rcv function to check PROBE messages and call icmp_echo
    if a PROBE request is detected.
    
    Modify the existing icmp_echo function to respond ot both ping and PROBE
    requests.
    
    This was tested using a custom modification to the iputils package and
    wireshark. It supports IPV4 probing by name, ifindex, and probing by
    both IPV4 and IPV6 addresses. It currently does not support responding
    to probes off the proxy node (see RFC 8335 Section 2).
    
    The modification to the iputils package is still in development and can
    be found here: https://github.com/Juniper-Clinic-2020/iputils.git
    
    . It
    supports full sending functionality of PROBE requests, but currently
    does not parse the response messages, which is why Wireshark is required
    to verify the sent and recieved PROBE messages. The modification adds
    the ``-e'' flag to the command which allows the user to specify the
    interface identifier to query the probed host. An example usage would be
    <./ping -4 -e 1 [destination]> to send a PROBE request of ifindex 1 to the
    destination node.
