Why doesnt the netstat command display any information about ICMP connections?

Netstat will display statistics for ICMP such as Packets Sent and Received Try netstat -s ICMP messages arent data packets that are usable by a computers user but by the OS itself, they indicated issues with connectivity in response to requests that are being sent from the computer. For example your computer requests a web page from a particular IP address, if your router is unable to establish a connection to that it will send an ICMP message back to your computer to let it know why. Common messages that get sent are: Echo reply (Ping) Echo request (Ping) Destination Unreachable Netstat monitors TCP\UDP ports on the computer to monitor connections to the machine, ICMP is a lower level prototcol (IP) and hence doesnt maintain connections or actively listen for ICMP packets

What is the relationship between a logarithmic function and its corresponding graph in terms of the log n graph?

The relationship between a logarithmic function and its graph is that the graph of a logarithmic function is the inverse of an exponential function. This means that the logarithmic function "undoes" the exponential function, and the graph of the logarithmic function reflects this inverse relationship.
