CentOS - Apr 2013 - What about port 2048 for GRE(47) packaged in ip protocol

? 
? ? Hi, all:?

? ? ? ? I'm playing with Gre Tunnel programming in centos 6.
? ? ? ??
? ? ? ? I wrote my program in these steps:?
? ? ? ? a, open /dev/net/tun ?device and ioctl with?TUNSETIFF, get fd to tun
device, say "tun0";
? ? ? ? b, create one socket and use it to set tun0's ?ip address,
namyly?SIOCSIFADDR and?SIOCSIFDSTADDR; and then turn it up;
? ? ? ? c, create one raw socket to send things which got from the tun0 device
to other machine, and to receive packages which should be?feeded into the tun0
device;

? ? ? ? Finally, I ran the program in two machines, say MA and MB,
synchronously, and set route info in MA and MB too. The last environment is like
this:

? ? 10.0.3.1/24 ? ? 192.168.0.31/24 ? ?192.168.0.124/24 ? ?10.0.4.1/24
? ? ? ? ?---------- MA -------------------------------------------
?MB?----------
? ? ? ? ? ? ?tun0 ? ? ? ? ?eth0 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?eth0 ? ? ? ?
?tun0

? ? ? ? ?When I ping MB in MA, and tcpdump eth0 in MA, I get:?

15:06:39.712390 IP 192.168.0.31 > 192.168.0.124: GREv0, length 88: IP
10.0.3.1 > 10.0.4.1: ICMP echo request, id 28797, seq 1, length 64
15:06:39.713232 IP 192.168.0.124 > 192.168.0.31: ICMP 192.168.0.124 protocol
47 port 2048 unreachable, length 116
15:06:39.713667 IP 192.168.0.124 > 192.168.0.31: GREv0, length 88: IP
10.0.4.1 > 10.0.3.1: ICMP echo reply, id 28797, seq 1, length 64
15:06:39.713754 IP 192.168.0.31 > 192.168.0.124: ICMP 192.168.0.31 protocol
47 port 2048 unreachable, length 116

? ? ? ? ?The 1st and 3rd lines is easy to understand, but what about ?the 2nd
and 4th lines??? Is the raw package been sent up into gre protocol while caught
by my program??

? ? ? ? ?I have seen ICMP_PORT_UNREACH ?stuff been placed in ip_gre.c kernel
code, but say it is "Impossible event". So, what's wrong, ?have I
missed something in my program? Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

I remember I saw this behavior before. Mostly important thing is to find 
out if the enc/dec goes well. I was having this problem that triggers 
kernel to send out the icmp.
