It's as if they're using some kind of NAT or port knocking filter, and only opening the gate for incoming proto 4 traffic for a limited time after I initiate an outgoing request to a specific host. With the FCCs declaration of the ISPs as 'Common Carriers' under the telecommunications laws, this and all other forms of port blocking or preferential traffic handling should have been eliminated.
