It all runs fine, no problem, but I block nodes sending ICMP traffic.
Not all of them send ICMP traffic though. I see no reason why some do
send ICMP and it limits the 'network' because I block these. I ACK SYN
and that should be sufficient, shouldn't it?

Is this version related? Is it the os below freenet they are running
that sends ICMP? I don't understand. Could someone give me some
information on this?

When I stop the node, as I said, SYN keeps coming, I do not see what
possibly changed addresses have to do with this. When a SYN is ACKed the
node just isn't there. When it is there it will tell the medium that
should in turn propagate the presence of the node and its willingness to
accept incoming connections. 

But then again, all this is just my curiosity, I always wonder when I
see something that I do not understand and for which I cannot find a
logical explanation.

They keep trying - intentionally. Because one or other side may have
changed its address.
