Description

[udp] use ICMP error messages to trigger faster link down detection

this solves a possible race condition when:

  • node1 is running
  • node2 very fast
  • node1 does NOT have enough time to detect that node2 has gone and reset the local seq numbers / buffers
  • node1 will start rejecting valid packets from node2

There is still a potential minor race condition where app
can restart so fast that kernel / network don't have time
to generate an ICMP error. This will be addressed using
instance id in onwire v2 protocol, as suggested by Jan F.
