Re: RE: ICMP PING speedera

[Jim Burwell <jimb () broadvision com>]

You'll see these speedera pings whenever someone inside your site 
contacts a speedera hosted web site.  From my brief reading their of 
their web site, it apparently uses these pings to figure out the best 
path to your user and direct him/her to the server which offers the best 
throughput/latency.

It's potentially not the only thing that generates this pings though.  I 
have a ping program ('coolping') which also triggers the speedera rule.
