Does anyone have a list of which ISPs are willing to filter ICMP packets for you when your network is being (D)DoS'd, and which prefer to simply blackhole / disconnect you, and which will do absolutely nothing??

IMHO the best protection you can get from ICMP flooding is a permanent rate-limit on your upstream router to something between 1-5 % of the line capacity - You won't feel it unless you have a DoS attack and then it kicks automagically NOTE: depending on your "normal" traffic you want to rate limit UDP to something between say 20-50 % of line capacity - Rafi

I'm finding it hard to gather this information and it occured to me that this is an obvious factor when choosing an ISP!
