Hello Mohamed,
I just cheked by pinging PIX inside interface from WIN XP by making the
packet size 0 and the ping is successful .I am assuming that same would be
true for router .
Can you please tell us from where you read that information that if the
packet size is 0 then router will not reply for the echo request
