[lwip-devel] [task #7272] LWIP_ICMP option

[Frédéric Bernon]

Follow-up Comment #3, task #7272 (project lwip):

Even, if it is "non-compliant", it stay an usual way to limit DoS attacks on
the Internet (most of hacking tools start port scanning only if they detect an
IP with a "ping"). More, if you don't need ICMP, I suppose than disabling the
code to reduce footprint is something useful (and in the same spirit than the
other option we got).

But, in all cases, since LWIP_ICMP=1 per default in opt.h, so, there will not
any changes from the current behavior.
