Bill-
So, I'm curious, and others probably are too. What's the most popular
'wrong' answer?

I have people waive the "I'm Cisco Certified" flag in my face all the time.
Then proceed to ask me if we have a T1. To the point that it's no longer a
valuable achievement in my eyes.

Since Bill said "(not IP in general, TCP specifically)", I don't think
PMTUD breaking is what he's looking for.
I'd venture more along the lines of lack of Destination Unr

That's a horrible question for a non-technical HR person to pose to a
candidate - It's impossible for the candidate to ask clarifying
questions to make sure they understand what you are looking for, plus
you may have a strong candidate who gets it wrong (for whatever reason),

Please unicast me in case you do. :)
Thanks in advance!

Seems fairly straightforward to me. It'll break path MTU discovery.
I would hope someone applying for an "IP expert" position would know that.
Could HR be mangling the question or something?

My answer to that questionwould be "No..why would I ever blanket block ICMP?
If I'm that stupid, I shouldn't be deploying firewalls at all."
I also assume I wouldn't get the job after answering that...

Hi folks,
I gave my HR folks a screening question to ask candidates for an IP
expert position. I've gotten some "unexpected" answers, so I want to
do a sanity check and make sure I'm not asking something unreasonable.
And by "unexpected" I don't mean naively incorrect answers, I mean
oh-my-God-how
Technical users could always just flash DD-WRT onto the device and replace the
Linksys/Cisco firmware; then you have a much more robust system without any big
brother stuff.

Perhaps going right to the source would be educational:
http://home.ci
Let's remember, this is regarding Cisco's consumer grade routers (formerly
linksys) which are primarily intended for connecting small networks (homes,
offices) to the internet over some type of broadband connection.
Can they be used. On a network with no internet connectivity? Sure. But this,
