    Hi all,

    I want to deny ping (as well as tcp_timestamp) requests (namely icmp type values 0,13, and 14). Is writing an ipsec rule the only way to do this on AIX environment? Can i also accomplish this using network tunable parameters, like ipignoreredirects=0 ? I tried the later one, however I could not disable the icmp echo requests, the system is still replying back, but I want to make sure that if I haven't missed anything.
