Subject: Re: Fix "ipOutNoRoutes" counter error for TCP and UDP

Hi Mr. David
   I have modified my patch according to you advice. I think -
EHOSTUNREACH is only for "input path". In "output" path, we can just
simply check-ENETUNREACH  (^_^), the patch is shown in the end of this mail.

  I send this patch to you several weeks ago, but you have not replied to me.
This patch is not correctly?
