We never stress-tested this host with pings as serving the pings is not
the primary reason of existence of this particular host and the LAN
it's on. The LAN the host (for historical reasons) is on is a rather busy
10M ethernet, the host itself experiences the UDP load of approx. 500
datagrams/sec, so using it as a ping reflector for any purposes other
than checking if it's alive is an absolutely misleading activity.
