Hi,
example:
imagine what happens if host A tries to connect to port 80 (WWW) of host B
and there is no Webserver running at all on host B ? The IP-Stack of host B
will send a 'ICMP port unreachable' message back to host A. If you try
it from a commandline (telnet to host B port 80) you usually get a 'connection
refused' message. This is the more readable interpretation of the 'ICMP port
unreachable' message to the user.
