Why do some host disable ICMP Time Exceeded (Type 11) messages? @Hennes - so if I understood you correctly, basically ICMP responses could be limited to the internal network and could be blocked from traveling outside the network to recipient who might have malicious intent..? |

Why do some host disable ICMP Time Exceeded (Type 11) messages? Thanks @Hennes - I got why 'hiding' from worms is a good idea, but what would be the proper steps to take instead of simply disallowing ICMP replies..? As if they took those steps, there would be no need to stop ICMP replies. |

Why do some host disable ICMP Time Exceeded (Type 11) messages? Thanks @AthomSfere - okay, but is disabling ICMP Echo Reply a definite way to hide the infrastructure..? Are there alternate ways to sniff the underlying devices of some external network on the Internet..? |

How can I estimate the number of feasible mappings for a NAT router..? Thanks @DavidSpillett. But I didn't get how a software NAT solution is limited by space available in the RAM for storing the NAT table and not by the usable number of ports on the device performing NAT..? |

How does basic NAT (one-to-one) connect two IP networks that have incompatible addressing? Hi @packets - could you kindly elaborate on 'incompatible addressing'..? I guess my confusion lies in understanding that term. |

Why has this organization reserved a public address space when they are being used in a private network? Thanks @Jason - but since this organization has already leased a large set of Public IPs, I am trying to figure out why it is more convenient to do so even though there is a burden of cost..? |

Why do I get a different MD5 message digest on Solaris for the same file? @b0fh - Well the message digest of digest itself matches that of another server. $ digest -a md5 /usr/bin/digest
