Thre reason why traceroute uses UDP instead of ICMP is very simple -- there are a lot of broken-as-designed unices which either do not provide non-superuser access to harmless ICMP facilities, or cannot trace replies back to originating process. I'd rather fix operating systems than leaving a nice big vulnerability in the network. --vadim
