Thanks.
I know that there are types of ICMP packets and I know that
they are specified as like port numbers in firewall rules, but
I still don't know...:
1) There is a source and destination "port number". Which is
relevant? A packet sure couldn't have to ICMP types?
2) What does the one sending the packet want to effect?
The message type must be one of the 2, so
3 = destination unreachable
Don't know why I should get that from there
All other d-u's come in from a "real" source.
13 = timestamp request
What on earth would they want with a timestamp?
And why over ICMP?

Christian
