- port unreachable
- host unreachable

Explanation: When a host or gateway receives a packet that it cannot deliver, it can use an ICMP Destination Unreachable message to notify the source that the destination or service is unreachable. The message will include a code that indicates why the packet could not be delivered. These are some of the Destination Unreachable codes for ICMPv4:
- 0 : net unreachable
- 1 : host unreachable
- 2 : protocol unreachable
- 3 : port unreachable
