ZMap also speeds up the scanning process by sending a probe to every IP address only once by default, whereas Nmap resends a probe when it detects a connection delay or fails to get a reply. [8] This results in about 2% of IP addresses being missed during a typical scan, but when processing billions of IP address, or potential IoT devices being ...
