Increase the time-out value for connections

Reduce the number of available connections

Reduce the time-out value for connections

Increase the size of data packets

Ping packets are too large and consume bandwidth

Ping has many uses for reconnaissance and attacks

Ping packets are incompatible with modern networks

Ping ONLY creates security vulnerabilities in firewalls

MAC addresses are temporary, while IP addresses are permanent

MAC addresses are assigned by the network, while IP addresses are hardcoded

MAC addresses are physical addresses hardcoded by manufacturers, while IP addresses are logical and changeable

MAC addresses are used only for local networks, while IP addresses are used only for the internet
