ALso, if folks are so worried where pings are coming from ACLs can be
crafted IF necessary to keep unwanted traffic out.
Also, why are we reinventing the wheel? There are already protocols and
tools to do all this. It should be automatic like BGP and OSPF are.
ALso, Marius' clever RIP scripts for Mikrotik work really well (after we
debugged and finetuned it)
There's no real reason to reinvent anything. We are still in the 1990s
network wise and we need to jump the shark and get into this century.
While I am not (and never was) in favor of netrom and all that stuff
back in the day I was one of the rebels in South FLorida using Phils
KA9Q NOS.
I know there are some good implementations of integrating all the legacy
stuff and UROnode comes to mind. But do we have to still use this in
2016? can't we migrate everything to tcpip?

+1 on that. I am a network engineer and worked for carriers and it
really ticks me off when pings are turned off. Pings are the lowest
priority traffic on any network. not responding to pings makes it that
much more difficult to debug when things go wrong. (Please trim inclusions from previous messages)

Just that there will be alot of opposition
from people worrying about 1 ping an hour should some multicast group
announcement and subscription messages appear on the network...
Ultimately that is
the biggest problem. We can't even get network
operators to allow ICMP packets without them scrutinizing every
packet that
comes across the wire as a threat. Among other topics...
