inside network - R5 - outside network
     behind R5 - R5 - in front of R5

        It says behind because it's not asking for locally generated. Since an outbound access-list does not match locally generated traffic, it cannot be evaluated without additional configuration, such as local policy routing.

Something I usually find confusing is "behind R5". How do you know what is behind and not ?
Normally by using common sense I deduct that ICMP initiated from the inside should be allowed to return from the outside but the word "behind" confuses me,

Tim,
        What about the question and solution implies this? The question
says:
"Configure your network so that ICMP traffic is only allowed into your network if the traffic was initiated from behind R5. For diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes, ensure that users throughout your network are still able to traceroute from behind R5."
        The solution is:
R5:
interface Ethernet0/1
 ip access-group DENY_SNMP in
 ip access-group EVALUATE_ICMP out
!
ip access-list extended DENY_SNMP
 deny udp any any eq snmp
 permit icmp any any time-exceeded
 permit icmp any any unreachable
 evaluate ICMP
 deny icmp any any
 permit ip any any
!
ip access-list extended EVALUATE_ICMP
 permit icmp any any reflect ICMP
 permit ip any any
        Essentially you are watching ICMP traffic that is exiting:
permit icmp any any reflect ICMP
        and you are allowing it back in only if was initiated from the
inside:
evaluate ICMP
deny icmp any any
        but you are allowing trace replies back:
permit icmp any any time-exceeded
permit icmp any any unreachable
        How does this relate to echo or echo-reply?
