hi,
 

Most routers will regard any ICMP request to them as a low priority issue. 

do they? icmp is not only about 'echo'. there's lot of
other functions via type/code - fragmentation, mtu etc,
vital for traffic signalization. administrators, who
blindly closes all icmp traffic are plain stupid idiots.

all the best,

W.
