TRACERTE IPV4 vs IPV6 BEHAVIOR DIFFERENCE

SYSTEM: traceroute utility
ACTOR: operator, analyst, engineer... (RACF USERID)

Traceroute is a common and vital network diagnostic utility. Its behavior is desired to be equivalent whether processing an IPV4 or an IPV6 address. At ZOS_2.1, the traceroute bind to an unreserved SAF controlled UDP port behaves differently for IPV4 versus IPV6 addresses. Traceroute's to an IPV4 address successfully binds to unreserved UDP ports regardless of the USERID's SERVAUTH PORTACCESS permission or the application of a SAFNAME in the PORTLIST definition. In contrast IPV6 traceroutes are sensitive to both.

Example PORTLIST definition:
PORT
UNRSV UDP * SAF UNDEFPRT

IPV6 traceroute message:
EZZ6354I Bind to send socket error detected EDC5111I Permission denied.
