MP> Pinging 63.236.73.147 with 32 bytes of data:

Most day-to-day apps don't really care about ping.  Attempts to
connect to 80/TCP are successful.  Ping and traceroute give me !X
communication prohibited by filter.

ICMP echo and response are NOT critical Internet traffic.  The
inability to send/receive is NOT an inherent indicator of network
health.
