- "The one security concern raised by this memo is that ICMP black holes
- are often caused by over-zealous security administrators who block
- all ICMP messages. It is vitally important that those who design and
- deploy security systems understand the impact of strict filtering on
- upper-layer protocols. The safest web site in the world is worthless
- if most TCP implementations cannot transfer data from it. It would
- be far nicer to have all of the black holes fixed rather than fixing
- all of the TCP implementations."
-
- Golden words :-).
