13.11 Anti-Probing

If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your Prestige, an ICMP response
packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to know the Prestige exists. The
Prestige supports anti-probing, which prevents the ICMP response packet from being sent.
This keeps outsiders from discovering your Prestige when unsupported ports are probed.
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a message control and error-reporting protocol
between a host server and a gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet Protocol (IP)
datagrams, but the messages are processed by the TCP/IP software and directly apparent to the
application user.
