The problem with that however is that disabling ICMP echo-replies does not hide the IP 
addresses in traceroute you simply get a "no response" message back. You still get a 
complete map of the network path, only without hostnames. 

Whaddaya think?

NAT is designed for more than just obscuring IPs, and if IPSec is in use in
this environment, it will negate the ability to use IPSec in transport mode.
Without knowing why the OP isn't using NAT, it may not be feasible for his
environment. Disallowing ICMP reply packets would achieve the requested
result without requiring significant modification. Just my two cents.

That is exactly what NAT is designed to do.

Here are a few links that will steer you in the right direction.

good luck!

Hi All,

I have Private IP's address in my network which I want to conceal in
traceroutes. Say a customer traces to any IP on internet he is able to map
my private network also which I want to prevent. So how can I hide the
private ip's in the traceroutes. I use cisco routers.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Regards

Amar
