I've been asking the question in phone interviews for months. I
couldn't quote them properly but the answers were... discouraging. No
one beyond ping and traceroute.
I asked HR last week to start asking the question as a pre-screen and
forward me the answer. The first one responded "This would block all
IP traffic." I figured it was time for a sanity check to make sure the
question was reasonable.
Regards,
Bill
