hi ya
nope.. not illegal per se...
scanning for info on their network is usually a precurser
to hacking....so some folks dont take scannng lightly..
the internet dynamically figures out which is the best way to get
to the other end of your connection
( "ifconfig" cost options )
- sometimes it "stupidly" passing info from west coast
to east coast and back to west coat... but at least it works...
