What are you kidding with this one. This guy don't know about a bug in
software and you think he is not a ccie.
Then after this blather you make the brilliant statement this is what the

You were playing with the network and you brought down the firewall and you
want to check somebody elses credentials.
Or maybe there is a valid reason to ping a large number of hosts
simultaneously, could you tell us what that reason is.
