At what point NMAP decides if host is UP ?

Hi, I use TCP SYN scan to scan remote hosts and also use OS fingerprinting. I use command something like that - nmap -sS -O -p <port list> <ip address> I also depend upon nmap response to find if host is UP or DOWN. So I am just qurious to know how NMAP will decide if host is UP if command listed above is used. Does it use ICMP at all in this case ? If NMAP uses SYN packets to find if host is UP, then it uses any default port or uses list of ports specified in the command. Thanks --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
