RE: Difference between ICMP Echo and UDP Echo.

UDP uses the UDP protocol and you will need an "ip sla responder" on the
other side to communicate with. ICMP uses a simple ping. Using a UDP action
will allow for multi packet stream review. Using ICMP will allow you to
track things that you have no relationship with.
