If it's not needed for the solution then don't permit it.

Subject: RE: ICMP/Traceroute Question
So, if a lab question asks "permit all traceroute replies back in
through
the router's Serial0/0/0 ACL" then that answer would be:
Interface Serial0/0/0
ip access-list extended INFILT
permit icmp any any time-exceeded
permit icmp any any port-unreachable
...and that's it? 
Does it "hurt" you to add "unreachable" and "echo-reply" into there as
well?
Thanks,
Ed

Subject: RE: ICMP/Traceroute Question
Technically you would need to know the implementation of the traceroute
application since traceroute can be ICMP, UDP, or even TCP based.  In a
Cisco lab environment we can safely assume that it will be UDP based
traceroute.  This means that UDP packets are sent out by the source.
ICMP time-exceeded packets are sent back by the intermediate routers in
the
path and finally an ICMP port unreachable packet is sent from the
destination.
UDP based traceroute:

Subject: ICMP/Traceroute Question
What's the difference between ICMP unreachable versus ICMP
port-unreachable?
And what are the icmp-types for Traceroute?  I have seen "echo-reply",
"time-exceeded", "unreachable", "port-unreachable" and any combination
of
the four listed in various solutions.  If I'm asked a question to allow
Traceroute back in an ACL, which ones do I have to consider?
Thanks,
Ed
