It's not the pings, it's the constant unending streams of connects to
TCP ports and probes of UDP ports that we're encapsulating and relaying
through that I want to avoid burdening 'innocent' people with.
Despite all our filtering, I do get complaints from people whose firewalls
are too sensitive and too verbose. They typically don't really know what
they're complaining about, they just know that their firewall told them
something bad was happening. Worse, one of those products thinks it's
being helpful and looks up and displays the 'abuse(a)ucsd.edu' address,
and those people then file complaints with our campus network security
people, which I then have to answer. Even if we had our own ASN, I'd
still have to answer the complaints. This I don't need.
And besides, it's fun to write new code. Creeping featurism? Perhaps.
