Testing protocol 41

[leifnel]

Does there exist any linux tools which can test if protocol 41 gets through the network (4G) and my router?

I have access to linux boxes outside my network which can be used as endpoints.
But as my home network has no public IP; it is on Carrier grade Nat, the connections have to be initiated from my network to my external hosts.

I don't think proto 41 works like that. It's not like you open a connection, and this connection stays open and all data flows through it and the switches at your end will know where to send the data. No. Proto 41 needs end-to-end connectivity. How should the gateway know it is you that wants this package? You can monitor your interface with Wireshark to check for incoming proto 41 packages, but I think most 4G gateways will only work for TCP and - if you're lucky - UDP and ICMP.

You would use something like wire shark to look at incoming packets, but as was mentioned, it won't normally work with CGN

nmap can do it, to some extent. 

You can try something like:

Code Select Expand

nmap -sO -p 1,6,17,41 hostname

The downside is that it can't always distinguish open from filtered.
