           Summary: TCP sockets can not receive ICMPs
           Product: ns-3
           Version: ns-3-dev
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: internet

TCP sockets can not receive ICMP notifications (useful for applications) due to
the missing function(s):

ReceiveIcmp (Ipv4Address icmpSource, uint8_t icmpTtl,
                            uint8_t icmpType, uint8_t icmpCode, uint32_t
icmpInfo,
                            Ipv4Address payloadSource,Ipv4Address
payloadDestination,
                            const uint8_t payload[8])

I don't know if it's useful to have it, but I don't see why not.

The feature will be more useful for IPv6, in order to properly handle MTU
exceeded packets (still to be done tho).

Opening a bug as a proposed enhancement to not forget about it.
