ICMP blocking

Quick survey: Who's blocking ICMP subsets (like echo requests, traceroutes) at their borders? Who's not? Strong feelings about why in either case? Certainly, doing so is not a huge security gain, but the alternative means you're giving away the map anonymously. How polar is the community on this? Thanks. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Dobbins, CISSP -- Director, Information Security University of Notre Dame, Office of Information Technologies
