true.. icmp is an unreliable protocol.. when you try to ping echo request message to a host, it is expecting for a ping echo reply message (of course).. fortunately for slackware unlike redhat, it compares the sending packet to a receiving packet if it is equal or not aside from determining a packet loss... if it is not, it is a sign that you have a bad network by either a dirty link, a bad router or a bad network device that is along the path... my recomendation is to have a bit error rate test (BERT) or find another service provider <grin :-> fooler. >-----Original Message----- >From: Joon Guillen >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: 4/26/2002 5:45 PM >Subject: [plug] Ping Wonder >I was pinging a site on the internet using a Slackware box, and came >across this ping output: > >[snip] >64 octets from 203.172.11.21: icmp_seq=0 ttl=250 time=2721.1 ms >wrong data byte #0 should be 0x7e but was 0x7c7c 1e c9 3c f0 ed 1 0 > 8 9 a b c d e f 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f >20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 > 28 29 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f >[/snip] _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
