Large Amounts of ICMP packets

[Dante Mercurio <Dante () WEBCTI COM>]

A customer of mine has been hit with large amounts of ICMP packets from
akaimaitechnologies.com servers. I've seen these before and considered them
a nusiance, but I feel 1600 ICMP packets a week to hosts that can not
respond due to being behind a firewall is excessive, and it fills logs
pretty quickly. The company response was that they use the pings to better
serve the customers and to monitor usage.

You can have addresses removed from their list of hosts by sending an email
to the hostmaster listed below:
