Re: ? how cisco router handle the out-of-order ICMP echo-reply packets

Considering that Ciscos wait for a response before sending the next echo-request, you should never end up in a situation where replys are received out of order.

That is going by my knowledge of traditional IOS. Ive not yet had any experience with IOS XE or XR to be able to quote any other experience.
