Hi,

I am a little bit confused about icmp state keeping.
Here:

http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/ipf-howto.html#TOC_20

Is a nice section concerning the state keeping of ipf.
Even a nice section about udp state keeping.
From that i understand udp state keeping is done with source and destination
port. 
On statefull icmp is written: ICMP behaves identically to UDP state.
But icmp doesnt work with source and destination port as far as i know.
How is ipf "keeping state" conerning icmp?
Obviously it works fine here.
Bye,

Mipam.
