Re: Deal with it..... said by DrTCP:
The correct solution for the ISP is to rate limit ICMP bandwidth. That way excessive pings would be blocked while users maintain the simple diagnostics capability.
See what happens when people communicate! I totally agree with this approach. It is better than blocking completely.
My entire point is that for the majority of internet users, they do not need to be pinged from outside of the ISP's network, and security overall needs to be tightened to help prevent spam and many of the other headaches that are wasting the resources on the internet.
