I've heard that it is not wise to block all ICMP operations. Such being the case, which of these ICMP operations are safe to block without causing serious problems: echo-reply (pong) destination-unreachable network-unreachable host-unreachable protocol-unreachable port-unreachable fragmentation-needed source-route-failed network-unknown host-unknown network-prohibited host-prohibited TOS-network-unreachable TOS-host-unreachable communication-prohibited host-precedence-violation precedence-cutoff source-quench redirect network-redirect host-redirect TOS-network-redirect TOS-host-redirect echo-request (ping) router-advertisement router-solicitation time-exceeded (ttl-exceeded) ttl-zero-during-transit ttl-zero-during-reassembly parameter-problem ip-header-bad required-option-missing timestamp-request timestamp-reply address-mask-request address-mask-reply Thanks for any assistance.
