Right, someone could do that. I was more here to find ammunition to show someone that they were doing something wrong than to build anything myself. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Morrow" <morrowc.lists () gmail com> To: "Mike Hammett" <nanog () ics-il net> Cc: "Tom Beecher" <beecher () beecher cc>, "NANOG" <nanog () nanog org> Sent: Tuesday, February 8, 2022 4:35:16 PM Subject: Re: Authoritative Resources for Public DNS Pinging On Tue, Feb 8, 2022 at 4:05 PM Mike Hammett < nanog () ics-il net > wrote: Some people need a clue by four and I'm looking to build my collection of them. Someone on Outages was nice enough to send this about someone else's thread: https://peering.google.com/#/learn-more/faq "Google services, including Google Public DNS, are not designed as ICMP network testing services" you know what you COULD do though... probe it with DNS requests, and then you know, test the service being offered, and still know that 'the internet is not on fire'. <blockquote> ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP From: "Tom Beecher" < beecher () beecher cc > To: "Mike Hammett" < nanog () ics-il net > Cc: "NANOG" < nanog () nanog org > Sent: Tuesday, February 8, 2022 3:01:27 PM Subject: Re: Authoritative Resources for Public DNS Pinging <blockquote> Are there any authoritative resources from said organizations saying you shouldn't use their servers for your persistent ping destinations? </blockquote> I'm not sure that an ' authoritative resource ' is really needed. It should be generally understood at this point in the internet's life that networks will block / restrict some or all ICMP traffic as they need to.
