355This is the worst choice of transport protocol with respect to overhead 359=item enable-icmp = yes|true|on | no|false|off
356(overhead cna be 2-3 times higher than the transferred data), and probably 360
357the best choice when tunneling through firewalls. 361See gvpe.protocol(7) for a description of the ICMP transport protocol.
362
363Enable the ICMP transport using icmp packets of type C<icmp-type> on this
364node.

370use this transport unless you really must, it is very inefficient and
371resource-intensive compared to the other transports (except for DNS, which
372is worse).

395Sets the type value to be used for outgoing (and incoming) packets sent
396via the ICMP transport.
397
398The default is C<0> (which is C<echo-reply>, also known as
399"ping-replies"). Other useful values include C<8> (C<echo-request>, a.k.a.
400"ping") and C<11> (C<time-exceeded>), but any 8-bit value can be used.
