Hey-o Community!

Was recently using the Netskope Performance t/s tool for Windows and I noticed that part of the testing that takes place appears to be ping attempts to a POP gateway, however if ICMP is inherently not allowed to POP’s then why is this even part of the testing? Unless someone knows if “No-Pinging” is just something an organization can choose to NOT have while others do? Looking to get clarity to also understand just how useful this tool actually is.
