[AG-DEV] Bridge Pings

[Todd Zimmerman]

Just got a note from one of our AG3 users complaining that the venueclient was showing no bridges as
being available.


After a quick inspection, it appears the venueclient checks to see if the bridges are up by pinging
them.  By blocking inbound icmp packets, I can recreate the problem on my local box, so I assume
this is the issue.

This is a fairly major problem for some of our sites/campuses that block all inbound icmp traffic
(pings).  It effectively makes them unable to use AG3.

Is there any way to force AG3 to not attempt to ping the bridges?
