| The test finishes by scanning the user-selected IPv6 TCP ports. The IPv6 TCP port test sets its' socket tx/rx timeouts to be 1 second - consequently the results can take up to 1s per tested port - although this depends heavily upon the filtering your system employs (e.g. firewalls which mark protected ports as 'administratively prohibited' will resolve as PHBTD in much less than the allowed 1 second timeout assuming that your firewall sends an ICMPv6 type 1 code 1 packet in response). | | The test finishes by scanning the user-selected IPv6 TCP ports.

− | The tester will indicate the status of the tested UDP and TCP ports as either OPEN, STEALTHed or one of a series of other states depending on the positive or negative feedback received from your machine. A typical result is shown in the figure below. Note that if you run the test using an interactive gui-based browser then hovering over specific port numbers produces a pop-up describing the service run on that specific port. For a more detailed explanation of the reported states please read '''[[ScanStatus]]'''. | + | The tester will indicate the status of the tested UDP and TCP ports as either OPEN, STEALTHed or one of a series of other states depending on the positive or negative feedback received from your machine.
