Answer:
(b) is used in Traceroute
(d) is used by Ping
Explanation:
ICMP is the short form of Internet Control Message Protocol. It is a protocol used by networking devices such as routers to perform network diagnostics and management. Since it is a messaging protocol, it is used for sending network error messages and operations information. A typical message could be;
i. Requested service is not available
ii. Host could not be reached
ICMP does not use ports. Rather it uses types and codes. Some of the most common types are echo request and echo reply.
Traceroute - which is a diagnostic tool - uses some messages available in ICMP (such as Time Exceeded) to trace a network route.
Ping - which is an administrative tool for identifying whether a host is reachable or not - also uses ICMP. The ping sends ICMP echo request packets to the host and then waits for an ICMP echo reply from the host.
ICMP is not required to solve NAT traversal problem neither does it have a new version in IPV6.
4. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using the same system call interface for both files and devices. Why do you think operating system designers would use the same interface for both
Answer:
According to the principles of design, Repetition refers to the recurrence of elements of the design
One of the advantages of this is that it affords uniformity. Another is that it keeps the user of such a system familiar or with the interface of the operating system.
One major drawback of this principle especially as used in the question is that it creates a familiar route for hackers.
Another drawback is that creates what is called "repetition blindness". This normally occurs with perceptual identification tasks.
The phenomenon may be due to a failure in sensory analysis to process the same shape, figures or objects.

Explanation:
Distinguish among packet filtering firewalls, stateful inspection firewalls, and proxy firewalls. A thorough answer will require at least a paragraph for each type of firewall.
Acme Corporation wants to be sure employees surfing the web aren't victimized through drive-by downloads. Which type of firewall should Acme use? Explain why your answer is correct.
Answer:
packet filtering
Explanation:
We can use a packet filtering firewall, for something like this, reasons because when visiting a site these types of firewalls should block all incoming traffic and analyze each packet, before sending it to the user. So if the packet is coming from a malicious origin, we can then drop that packet and be on our day ;D
