A certain network last week decided to drop *all* icmp traffic across its

filter only 92 byte packets, it's all or none.
Does anyone else care to respond publicly or privately with data about other
networks filtering all icmp  traffic, not just malformed icmp?  I'd like to
compile a list for troubleshooting, as these decisions are breaking things
for some customers.

All? As in ... breaking path mtu discovery?
