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.

BTW: my E-mail has been changed to weidong@...fujitsu.com
