Re: Place your bets - Closed vs Stealthed

If you had DSL with an IP that changed, I would have said on average you would see more traffic with dropping packets since you would likely get hit with the previous residents P2P at some point.

NMap in the default mode will skip your IP if there is no reply, but if you set it to ignore host discovery it would still scan. Some worms also check to see if an IP responds.

My guess is that the difference in Downstream traffic will be negligible compared to your connection Bandwidth but Upstream traffic will be a lot less with dropped packets but probably still negligible compared to your bandwidth.
