In the Introduction, it says:

no ICMP messages are sent about ICMP messages

It should say:

no ICMP messages are sent about ICMP error messages

Notes:

For instance, echo replies are sent about echo messages. The context of the original sentence indicates that the author only referred to error messages but the sentence itself is not clear and I've seen the editorial error reproduced in some places.
