... and then the sentence right after that says "Thus by sending an ARP request rather than an ICMP echo, you are virtually guaranteed to get a reply."

A seeming contradiction, even though I say so myself. This article desperately needs peer review and technical editing. From my vantage point as an IT security specialist who has worked with the TCP/IP suite of protocols for eight years, I rate this article as useless. And oh yeah, I'll be going throuh CCIE training in March (I gotta renew this useless, @#$#$ CCNP certification of mine, so I might as well do something worthwhile).
