How can I read ICMP errors from "connected" UDP sockets?
If the target machine discards the message because there is no process
reading on the requested port number, it sends an ICMP message to your
machine which will cause the next system call on the socket to return
ECONNREFUSED. Since delivery of ICMP messages is not guarenteed you
may not recieve this notification on the first transaction.
Remember that your socket must be "connected" in order to receive the
ICMP errors.
