+This is in REQ-4. Error messages should only be in an existing session
+(otherwise we can send error messages `gratuitiously', like in gratuitious ARP,
+and thus influence a NAT from outside). So, we SHOULD drop these packets.

+If such an error message does belong to an existing session, NAT should simply
+translate the address and forward the message to the internal host, so that it
+receives the message correctly.
