Re: [fw-wiz] ECHO Protocol



In ICMP terminology, "echo" is what we normally call "ping". So "uses
ECHO protocol" might just be another way of saying that it uses ICMP.
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Control_Message_Protocol#List_of_permitted_control_messages_.28incomplete_list.29
& search for "Echo Request" & "Echo Reply".

All,

I am checking the ICMP protocol these days and some documents say that
Ping command in Windows uses ICMP protocol, while others say that Ping
uses ECHO protocol, which is through TCP port 7.

So my question is which protocol is actually used by PING command in
Windows?
