I don't think you will see the source as echo reply. By that, I mean that
the echo reply will only be evident in the destination. The source could be
any port.
Remember ICMP is the odd protocol, which has to be allowed both ways through
a firewall, because the reply is a totally separate session.

If you telnet from A to B. The destination port is 23. In the reply from B
to A  'source' port is 23.
If you use ping though for example, from A to B. The destination will be
echo. In the reply from B to A, the source will not be 'echo' it could be
anything. The important part will be the destination port which is
'echo-reply'.


Hope I haven't confused. Hope even more that I haven't errored.
