Packet filter to watch ICMP (ping) packetsAugust 20, 1999SUMMARY: This packet filter will show all pings arriving at or passing through the PortMaster(TM). This tool is useful in debugging routing problems since often a ping's echo request will arrive at the destined host but the echo reply will have trouble returning. Using this packet trace filter at different points along the path can be very revealing in pinpointing the problem.
